Is there an imaginery budget? What does he/she/it/them want to do?

Computer_retard · 09-12-2006, 04:53 PM

there is no budget, and it has to be used on a network.

lee101 · 09-12-2006, 05:22 PM

well, pretty much any computer can be used on a network nowadays, have you got any specifics on what you want in it/what you want it to do?

Computer_retard · 09-12-2006, 05:48 PM

ummm I just want basics, the assignment jsut says make a computer

Computer_retard · 09-12-2006, 05:52 PM

like these would be things I would have to include in a regular computer right? motherboard, RAM, sound car, ROM, output devices, and input devices

would I need: hard drive, peripheral cord, bus system, expansion cards storage devices internal cache?

Ok, your obviously a bit confused, firstly ROM isnt a component, it stands for READ ONLY MEMORY, kind of like a CD-ROM disc or somethign like that.

Component list:

Motherboard
RAM
Processor
HardDrive
Graphics Card
Sound Card
Network Interface Card (NIC)
Optical Drives (CD/DVD drives)
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Case (if applicable)

Peripheral List:

Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
Speakers
Printer

Obviously some things in the peripheral list wont be included, like a printer, if its on a network there is most likel a networked printer somewhere so... ya know

Thats about it

no problem, although we arent really here to do your homework for you, you should still understand all of those parts, if you font then you should ask or say something

Just take the praetor list for the insanely expensive computer and give your teacher a good shock

Finally found it..

It's roughly a $82,000 computer.
