We first started with splitting into a group of 3, we had to assemble the components and make it into a working computer. First we took out the case which holds all the components together, channels air for cooling and keeps out dirt. Then we saw that there was this huge plank sitting in the middle of the case, we asked the teacher and he told us that it was the motherboard. The motherboard connects the CPU to the other components, it also holds every little pieces together. There was a huge thing which is the Hard Disk Drive also known as the HDD. The HDD is a slow and cheap persistent storage for all storage and data. Then we went deeper and found the RAM. The RAM provides fast, expensive volatile storage for software and data currently in use. The CPU executes all instructions and handles all the data: it is the computer.
