A complete home PC assembly. January 2001

In this photo report you can see how to assemble a PC in 192 photographs

The box (an ATX tower) in its packing.	I open the packing ...	... and remove the box. A tower box -if one has enough room- is better for later changes.	Now, ready to remove the three screws of each side cover ...
... with the screw driver that I am going to use throughout the whole assembly ...	... I remove the screws, and sliding the covers backwards ...	... disassemble them. Here we can see the two covers on the floor (I retire them to a place where they do not hinder).	Detail of the joining lids (up and down ...
... and front ) of the covers.	Now, I take the motherboard box ... (see: parts of a motherboard)	... I open it (you can see the handbook to the right: I should never mislay it) ...	... take the motherboard ...
... and place it into the PC box (click on the photograph to enlarge it). Numbered from 1 to 6, I have found ...	... the holes to screw the board. In this photograph and the three next, we can see detail of some of them ...	... They are big holes ...	... surrounded by a tin plated circle.
Right under those six points, in the threaded holes aligned ...	... in the box iron plate, I am going to screw these brass pieces -to hold and separate the motherboard- ...	... as you can see in the photograph ...	... the final tightening can be made with pliers.
