There were two main parts to this project:

Motherboard:

PCI Slots: (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Where the graphics card and other such extras are connected.

Memory Slots: Where you place the RAM.

Back Panel Connector: Contains many different connections to the computer such as USB Ports

Firewire: Extra efficient connection to the motherboard

CPU Socket: Where the processor is placed

Main Power Connector: Where the power supply is plugged in. CPU:Central Processing Unit

Computational engine: Does all the algorithms required to run a computer Underside of the CPU contains hundreds of pins

Socket types:

LGA: (Land grid array) has many different pins that make contact with the underside of the CPU
PGA: (Pin grid array) Has sockets that the underside of the CPU is inserted into
