For the Genius Project, I have decided to build my own custom desktop computer. I am really intrigued by technology and simple factors such as complex codes carrying out basic commands for our pleasure, such as in video games. People, in general, take computers for granted and do not understand the complex processes that are necessary to build such a common and powerful machine.
My main goal for this project is to improve my knowledge of computers, understand on a definitive level each component of a computer, and in the end to build my own computer with a complete understanding of how the computer works on a circuitry level. To track my progress, I'll be using this schedule
By the end of week 2: I'll have a complete understanding of the biggest parts of the computer: the case, the processor, and the motherboard. I'll be able to explain in a future post about how they function in a computer and their circuitry outside of one.
By the end of week 4: I'll have a complete understanding of the next components of the computer: the PSU (power supply unit), storage devices (HDD's and SSD's), and the cooling options (liquid cooling and fans). These are very important components for a computer, and each storage device has a proper place for how the user is using the computer. At this point, I'll have started to put together my computer.
By the end of week 6: The computer should be finished and I'll know everything there is to know about the interior processes of the computer, the components, and the 'why' behind every conceivable option there is for computers.
Along with myself learning about computers, I'll be teaching all of you exactly what I'm learning with short blogs every week letting you know what's going on. I hope all you following this blog learn a thing or two. This is gonna be fun!
