Tasks
Identify your imaginary (or real customer).
Scan the Wintronic website for the type of components you think you might need. Talk to other students or your instructor about this if you are not sure.
Record a list of those components in the "Generic List of Components" section of your document, generically (i.e., "hard drive", "mouse").
Identify and record a list of the specific components you have chosen, along with the prices, in the "Specific List of Components" section of your document.
Calculate the total price for your system.
Double-check the compatibility of the case and the motherboard (form factor) and the motherboard and the CPU (socket).
