This page is to learn how to make a computer for my dad because he was really interested in making one. So this is what you have to have you have to have a case that compatibal with the motherboerd and a cpu that is compatibal with your motherboard you also need a memory stick 1,2 or 3 depending on how many your motherboard takes (they are also known as a RAM) and a cpu fan(it usualy comes with the cpu). You will also need a optical drive and also a hard drive and one of the most important part a power suply or PSU.this is how they look:

 :Motherboard :Cpu fan :Cpu :Case :Memory/Ram :Optical drive  :Hard drive : Power suply/PSU :1 this is how you buld it first you get you motherboard and put the cpu in a square place and do not push maybe tap it in but not push because it might break and then you have to buy a new motherboard and a new cpu and you can throw the cpu fan if you break it. Then you put in the cpu fan which some times there are holes in the motherboard and that is for the fan but sometimes you wont need it because some times it sticks with a tipe of glue (it will come come with the cpu and the fan if it is like that) the other way which is were you youse the holes. the cpu fan will have some tipe of screws stuck on and they will fit in the holes.then there will be a plug which is white and is on the fan the motherboard will have a white plug right next to were you put the cpu. :2. Then you will plug the RAM and i dont know how to explain it so watch this video.: media type="youtube" key="pemQxhE7Jhk?fs=1" height="381" width="468" :3 So that is all you need to do with your motherboard. Now move it out and take out your case. So now undo your side panels which are the things to open up the case. Now turn your case to the back and you will see a motherboard fitting it locks like this:  the motherboard will come with that but there is also one in the back and it is not the correct one so grab a hammer and hammer if out. Then get the one that came with the motherboard and put it in that place. But put it in from the inside not the out. Ok now we will start to put the motherboard inside. So move out all the cabels. Im sorry but it is to complicated to explain so wach this video. Wait first watch from sec 2:20 till the end and then watch the beginning. media type="youtube" key="QsGxYQlYYlU?fs=1" height="377" width="476" :4 Ok now we will put in our optical drive. so take out the front panel and there will be a big hole so slide it in until it lines up flush in your case. so go ahead and screw the screws that came with your motherboard. So now go ahead and put your front panel back on and snap it in to place. Now get you hard drive and slide it in to one of these ports until the little screws line up and screw it. now you got to hook them up first we will hock up the optical drive with the cable that came with it. This is called a IBE cable there are 2 sides to it the diffrense is that there will be a cable in the middel but not exactly in the middle so the closer one will be the one that conects to the optical drive. so now plug in the other side to the motherboard were the labell is and then you can go ahed and plug the other side in to the optical drive. Now lets plug in the hard drive so get the cable that came with it and it is called SATA. so this plugs in the motherboard were it looks like small L and they also loke like L. So plug that in and the other plugs right into your hard drive.Ok now you will need a converter which conects from your hard drive to your PSU. then you conect it it is like an L also so you conect that and the rest of the cabel you leave for now.OK now we will conect the PSU it will have some holes in one side but not a big side a small side which is like a rectangle. that has to be fasing out when you put it in so now you get your case and your PSU and put the PSU at the top at the back and you see it is made for that because there is a big hole so you put it there and you screw the screws. it will look like this in the back:  watch this vid for the connecting the cables (watch from min 1:04) media type="youtube" key="dPYkv8p2cSw?fs=1" height="385" width="480" ok so that is how to make a computer and this is
