Process Journal 1 - Introduction

Welcome to my 2015 Personal Project!

Goal

For this assignment, I've chosen to build a computer. Throughout the project, I will research all the components of a basic computer:

• The processor (CPU)
• The motherboard
• The memory (RAM)
• The storage
• The video card (GPU)
• The power supply unit 
• The optical drive 
• The operating system (OS)

For each component, I will a) research and cite a reputable source from which I can draw my information and b) film a short video explaining the basic information of the component. The videos may be accompanied by text.

These entries, along with others that document my process, will make up my process journals.

The final product will be fully functional computer. To finish, I will also complete a process known as benchmarking, in order to quantify the improvement of the newly built computer over my current office desktop.
