Our latecomer to the class mastered assembling and disassembling his miniPC and moved onto a spare workstation we had left over from the previous class. He’s a natural!

The Cooler Master Masterbox Q300L case has a very unique power supply bracket!

We had a latecomer show up who wasn’t able to attend the first class so we set him up with a spare mini-PC and a personalized version of yesterday’s lesson! He’ll be joining us for the next class to share everything he’s learned when he builds his own PC!

Here we go! Time to open up our materials and get building! Thanks again to the Mass Cultural Council for providing the funding to make this incredible class happen!

We reviewed everything from the importance of negative air pressure inside a desktop computer case to dividing power supply wattage by wall current voltage to figure out how many amps of power a power supply can deliver!
