My Build Project
This project was very fun to make, since I've never really dissected a computer before. I'm not the most tech-savvy person, so I relied mainly on the website to tell me if the parts would be compatible and the reviews for the reliability of the parts. The website I used was pcpartpicker.com.
I didn’t have a set budget for this and just went with vibes. My PC is designed to be fast and have tons of storage space since I have a lot of files for work and school that I have to keep track of. It also has the added benefit of being (kind of) a gaming PC!

Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned
This module was really interesting. I learned a lot about how desktop/PCs are different than a laptop. It was super cool to build my own PC, even though I don’t really know a whole lot about the different parts and which types would be more beneficial to use for a PC, since I prefer using laptops because of the transport ability.
Even with my own laptop, I liked figuring out that the reason my laptop is slow is because I barely have any of my RAM left! This is definitely something I would love to come back to in my own time, when I might be able to build it for real, but for now, building it virtually was quite nice!
