Abstract
In June of 1999 my brother, Adam, graduated from high school and decided to
attend Kalamazoo College. My whole family decided that we would need another
computer, because one computer between the two of us would not be practical. So the
need for another computer was established. Building a computer for my Senior
Individualized Project (SIP) became a learning experience for me, but at the same time it
was practical for three reasons: my family needed another one, the Pentium 133 was too
slow and I had been having problems with it.
I decided to go to the local bookstore to see if they had any computer assembly
books, to make sure I was not getting in over my head on this project. I found a book
called Building Your Own PC: Buying and Assembling with Confidence (Lee, 1998) that
told me everything that I had hoped to learn about my upcoming challenge. After reading
the book I felt very confident that I could do this project and not have too many problems
or disasters occur during the process.
