Connecting it All (Motherboard and Power)

In this section, we will see how all the parts are connected and how they get electricity.

Sections:

  1. The Motherboard: The Big Connecter
    • Analogy: The nervous system or a big map of roads.
    • Where the CPU, RAM, and other parts “plug in.”
  2. The Power Supply Unit (PSU)
    • Giving the computer the juice (electricity) it needs.
    • Cables: The wires that carry power to each part.
  3. Ports and Plugs
    • USB ports, HDMI for screens, and power plugs.
    • Making sure everything is plugged into the right spot.
  4. The Case
    • The “house” that keeps all the parts safe and organized.
