System Description and Justification Our customer has requested a custom built home PC to replace an older, outdated system. The customer has identified specific requirements that the PC must meet. These requirements are listed in Table 1. Component selection to meet the requirements listed in Table 1 is detailed below. All components are new, not refurbished. The individual components with price breakout are listed in Table 2. Diagram 1 is a graphical representation of the system motherboard connections. Diagram 2 is a graphical representation of the motherboard’s Input / Output (I/O) connections. Diagram 3 is a graphical representation of the power supply connections. Diagram 4 is a graphical representation of the system case …show more content…
Avoid small form factor PC cases. HTPC and Mini-Tower cases are the smallest available, starting at approximately 11 inches in height, and most susceptible to damage. Super Tower cases are very large at two feet or taller. They are also the most expensive option, costing $200.00 and up. Full Towers are 20 inches or taller. However, the least expensive Full Tower is still four times as expensive as the starting Mid Towers. Mid Towers are 16 inches or taller in height, and are the best value for a custom-built system. The case needed to be compatible with a full-size ATX motherboard, since ATX had the widest compatibility with the different components that were going to be required for this build. The case also had to have two (2) external USB 2.0 ports, a minimum of; one (1) external 5.25” drive bay to install an optical drive, one (1) external 3.5” drive bay to install an internal card reader, and three (3) internal hard disk drive bays. The Gigabyte GZ-ZA2 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case was one of the most cost effective choices that met or exceeded all of the requirements. Item 2. Minimize the effects of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. According to Cornell University, there is not definitive proof that ergonomic devices actually provide a health benefit or prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Hedge, 2015). User education and proper positioning will provide for the best ergonomic arrangement of the user’s computer workstation and mouse (Hedge, 2011).

Issue: New system must incorporate pre-existing hardware to the greatest extent possible, in order to keep costs down and prevent interruption of business.
Since the whole PC platform is so varied, I can only give an opinion and insight onto a small part of it. To do this, I will detail my own system in order to explain how the platform can be customised. Some of the parts were bought over 4 years ago, so prices have varied a lot.
They want to keep the cost of the entire build under $650 for the computer. They do not need a monitor, speakers, mouse, or keyboard. “Just the tower” is what they tell you. The family member tells you they surf the web, run Microsoft Office, and Quickbooks for their business. It is always on and usually running these three apps at the same time. The kids never use it. What CPU should they use? Explain your answer and use references to your spreadsheet.
Important features to consider before purchasing a PC is the power (speed, RAM capacity), expandability, ports, ergonomics, compatibility (with hardware and software), footprint, support, warranty, and cost.
The scope of the project involves replacing these computers and getting new desks to accommodate the new desktops. Newer software will be added to the computers, including an updated operating system. College staff members will have to be trained on the use of the new computers and the software. The training will include live training and hardcopy training materials. The project has a deliverable of upgrading all the classroom computers in the business department. The college has 5 classrooms in the business department, and each classroom has 25 computers. All 125 computers will be replaced with newer all-in-one desktops with touchscreens. The vendor has been determined, and you will work with this vendor upgrade the computers.
With time, the PC continued to evolve and newer models offered better speed, color screens, more memory and larger hard drives. Further technical evolution continued to deliver higher speeds, larger storage capacity both internal and external. In addition to the hardware progression, the PC world continued to see progress with operating system solutions and advanced software catering to both large and small businesses as well as the home owner.
The age of exploration and European colonization should be considered a tragedy. Obviously, there are positives and negatives to any situation. However, during this time period there were more tragic circumstances. It was a tragedy because so many innocent people died, in Jamestown, the columbian exchange, and from being slaves.
The final major component you’ll need is the power supply. This does just as the name implies, it powers the computer. Depending on what you plan on using the computer for will determine the “size” of power supply you’ll need. Just as I said with picking the case, wait to pick this out until you figure out how much power you’ll need.
Everyday millions of people turn on their television sets, smart phones, laptops, etc; only to be bombarded by the media. The problem is that the media manipulates a lot of the information that they broadcast to their viewers and they do so by numerous methods. One method that the media uses to manipulate information is by using propaganda. The Baltimore Riots and the riots at Ferguson were both representations of propaganda. In both instances a controversial event occurred but the media only displayed one side of the story. The media does this to influence the attitude of the community to toward one side. Another method the media uses to manipulate information is by advertising. Manipulative adverting uses promises of desired results to convince

Growing up in America, you most likely heard the words “drugs are bad for you” in some shape, way or form. Being a child, you are susceptible to believe the words of people older than you without knowing the reasoning behind why you should believe it. It became clear as I grew up that there were still people who continued to use drugs even through they’re clearly illegal. legalizing Marijuana for recreational use has been a controversial topic for years and is still up for debate. Today this substance is so common it’s featured in things people enjoy such as movies, TV shows and music. If marijuana were to be legalized we could potentially boost our economy, regulate the drug and its consumption, and save money on cost of enforcing the drug
