Computer Model Activity In a group of 2-3 students, you will work together to create a replicate of a computer tower, showing the components on the front, back, and inside as we discussed in our class discussion. Include all of the components that we discussed in our class discussion, a diagram can be found on the following slides Label and write a description of each component before attaching it to the tower Components should be as close to scale as possible and attached to the model as realistically as possible in the correct location Neatness is a graded Teamwork and communication will be judged by Mrs. Leatherman

Components to Include: Internal Components Bios Chipset Microprocessor Drive Bays Case Fan Motherboard Memory Modem Power Supply Sound Card Video Card External Components Optical Disk Drive Power Button Ethernet Port Audio In/Out Monitor Ports Power Socket USB Ports
