4-1

For this project we had to take apart our computers.  First I removed the four screws in the corners of the back panel so that I could remove the side panels.

Next, I disconnected all the power connections, removed the RAM, then removed the power supply.

Then I removed the SATA cable from the hard drive and motherboard.  Next, I removed the PATA cable from the DVD drive and motherboard.  After that, I removed the heat sink/CPU fan combo by undoing four push screws and disconnecting its power cable from the motherboard.  Lastly, I removed the rear fan.  This required that I disconnect it's power cable from the motherboard and then removing four screws from the rear panel.
