Inside Features of a computer- fateh, Puneet, Jaspreet, Laila

Inside Features of a Computer:
1. The RAM is located in the center of the motherboard and attached with two clips. Two RAMs are side by side. The bar on each RAM indicates how much MB of RAM there is and there is a bar for each RAM. Our RAM has 128 MB. We would be comfortable doing this because it is really simple.
2. The Hard Drive is located close to the CD Drive. The Hard Drive is connected with numerous different wires some yellow, black, and red.
3. The Power Supply is located close to the back of the drive. It has 10v watts power. If you chose to have Low Watt power you would end up saving a lot of space however the drawbacks for that option would be that you would only have limited stuff to open at one time. the higher watt power would allow you open and use many things at ones but you would have to consider the fact that a lot of space would be taken.
4. The CPU is located under the middle fan and there is a fan located on top of it. we find it a bit challenging to get access to the CPU because the fan get in the way so you would have to remove the fan first before getting access to the CPU. this is most likely set up in this manner so that the fan keeps the CPU clean and dust free.
5.The CD drive is in the top right corner of its CD-Rom and I know this because it is labelled on the outside of the slot.
6.There are 2 fans in the inside and you could add more too keep the computer dust free and cool at all times.
7. Yes there is a video card and it is integrated.
8. Yes there is a sound card because it is pointed out in the motherboard
9. We could add more fans, more RAM and possibly add a better CPU
