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!
Hey Andrew! I'm very intrigued by your project. Although it's obviously going to be very challenging considering you have to build a computer, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Although I don't know much about processing systems, motherboards, or anything else about computers, I not only think this is such a creative and interesting project, but it will definitely benefit you later on. Good luck!

DeleteYou did a great job with this blog! I really like how you ended it off with a connection to the audience. The timeline also felt like it was a natural part of the blog. That integration was really beneficial for your blog.
ReplyDeleteSup Andrew, this project has potential to be really dope. If you are successful, I think this project is going to be one to remember. One suggestion I have is that you should apply a creative aspect to your project because computer construction has been done in the past. So if you have your own unique spin, that would look really great. Good luck bro bro!
ReplyDeleteThis project looks really cool, and I look forward to seeing where you go with it. It'll be really interesting to see how some of the PC parts work, as I built one a while ago but don't understand how half of it functions.

DeleteThis project is very creative and I think that it will turn out well. I have always had a slight interest in building a computer so I am looking forward to seeing you progress.
