For project 4-1 We had to take a computer completely apart, and then put it all back together.

At first I took the RAM out, then started taking the IDE connectors out, then the Cd ROM.

The RAM was easy to take out, I just hit the little switches on both sides and it pops right out

The IDE Connectors were a little stubborn sometimes but they just pulled right out

The CD-ROM drive just slid right out when I hold down the green tabs.

After taking the CD-ROM Drive, IDE Connectors, and the RAM out, I took the Hard Drive out, as well as the floppy drive.

The Hard Drive came out the same way that the CD player did. It just slid out while holding the green tabs, and the Floppy Drive did the same thing. So this part was pretty easy

I then unplugged the power to the motherboard and processor, and took the power supply out

The the power cables coming from the power suply going into the motherboard were pretty easy to pull out, they just came out, it took a bit of effort, but they came right out

After taking the power supply out, I then took the fan out, and eventually the motherboard. Once I had the motherboard out there was nothing left in the case.

The power supply was held in by 2 screws, and the fan came off just from hitting this little switch.

After the computer was totally emptied out, class was over.. The next class I put it all back together, in the reverse order that I took it apart. After about.. 30 minutes I had it all back together.

so yeah! it was a fun project to do, it was the first time I've ever taken a computer completely apart, and put it back together.
