Project Abstract

 Cloning of Computer System is very essential in a computing area. This project focuses more on how computer system could be coupled and maintained effectively and efficiently without any fault during assembling of the system.

Throughout this project we shall focus on each and every components needed for assembling and also there functions. The main reason why people go for assembling of system instead of buying a new system is to allow them to have good and satisfactory quality of what they want. Buying a new computer system might not solve the problem of some people but coupling it themselves ease their wounds when it comes to satisfaction. The main important of coupling a computer system is to have access to all those components and to know how to couple and disassemble it when the system is faulty.

This research has managed to purchase the Sub-Assembly computer components and couple it to make a computer system that could rival the performance of the branded version.

Project Overview

INTRODUCTION

 Building and assembling a computer system, gives maximum satisfaction to the user and a very rewarding experience. To Assembles Desktop PC (Personal Computer) the users/builders of such systems are probably contemplating building or assembling a computer instead of purchasing one pre-built or pre-assembled. This project is to enlighten us on how a computer students can build a computer and peer to peer network with less stress and less amount of money, and how the computer built can meet up with the processing requirement of the school Laboratory. This research has managed to purchase the Sub-Assembly computer components and couple it to make a computer system that could rival the performance of the branded version.

1.1         BACKGROUND FOR THE STUDY

Building the computer system on this research embarks on gathering different components/devices of computer system together in other to make a well functioning computer system available to the computer laboratory (THE FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ADO-EKITI) and to enable students to be more familiar to each components of the computer system. Thus, this project will cover all the process of purchasing components, coupling, and the process of installing the OS (operating system) into the computer system. Building or assembling Pentium IV computer brings significant benefits which is identified below.

i.             Know about computer components and how they fit and work together.

 ii.           Understanding the internal and hardware workings of a computer.

 iii.           Learning computer hardware terminology

 iv.         Ability to customize a computer according to specialized specifications.

 v.           Building and assembling computer system from components.

vi.         The satisfaction of a job well-done.

vii.         Technical problem solving ability.

1.2         MOTIVATION

My motivation grow in the view that, I have passion to know the functions of each and every components of the computer and to be able to build a functioning computer system that will be capable to be use in any school laboratories.

1.3         OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main objective is to build well functioning computer with purpose of:

i.             Identifying computer components and how they fit and work together.

ii.           Understanding the internal and hardware workings of a computer.

iii.           Learning computer hardware terminology and geek-speak

iv.         Ability to customize a computer according to specialized specifications.

v.           Building and assembling computer system from components,

vi.         The satisfaction of a job well-done

vii.         Gathering technical problem solving ability.

viii.       Reduce the cost of buying new computer system

1.4         SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this research is to show how computer system could be purchased in parts, assembled and installed with required software to match a given configuration for the use in the laboratory.

1.5         EXPECTED CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE

6

The study is expected to specify the fact that computer is made up of several components functioning together as a single unit.

It will enable us to know that hardware cannot work alone to makes a computer without software being installed.

It gears us up to know the functionality of human to computer system.

1.6         METHODOLOGY

Method used to make complete system are:
