CSC231 PC-demolition Lab
This lab requires you to write a report. The report is due 9/17/10 at 11:59 p.m. + 1 minute. The report has to be a Wiki page, which should be accessible from here.
Contents
Setup
- Take apart an old PC, disassemble it completely, and identify all the parts...
Photos
- Below is a list of photos taken during the lab (Thanks Rebecca!)
Lab Report
- Create a wiki page (demonstrated during lecture of 9/10/10) linked to your name. The main URL for the student wiki page is http://cs.smith.edu/classwiki/index.php/CSC231_Page_(2010)
- Your wiki should have your name (or first name, if you prefer not to have your last name on world wide available pages, that's fine with me).
- The class number (CSC231)
- The date
- a paragraph describing the goal for the lab, and including a description of the type of computer we took apart (PC, Mac, laptop?).
- Make sure you document the main players for our class this semester: the processor and the memory! Because these are important, feel free to describe them more at length.
- A list of all the parts that were identified and/or removed. Each item should have a picture, and a paragraph (up to 5 lines) describing its function in a computer.
- If there is a part which we identified but for which there is no photo available here, use one from the Web.
Available resources
- All Web/Internet resources are fine, except wiki pages from other students in the class!
