...How to build a computer 1. Choosing a motherboard: There many different types of motherboards to choose from they all depend on: -What kind of processor you want -What size motherboard do you want to use -How many USB ports will you need. -What kind of graphics card will you be using. 2. Buying computer parts: you can order parts by mail or buy them at the store (although online is cheaper) CPU: Choosing the right brand and pin configuration to fit your motherboard/ RAM: Correct pin configuration that will match your mother board Power Supply: If the case you choose doesn't include a power supply you'll need to choose one. 300 watts is sufficient for the average computer. Video Card: choose a video card if you're not using the onboard video that comes with the motherboard. Optical Drive: CD/DVD drive and or burner Hard Drive: PATA or SATA depending on your motherboatd Operating System: There's a lot to choose from the latest is windows 7. 3. Installing the RAM and Microprocessor Caution: BEFORE this is done make sure you've relieved yourself of all sources of static electricity. Easiest way to do this is by grounding yourself. First, you'll need to unwrap the motherboard and the microprocessor chip. The chip will have one marked corner that aligns with another marked corner of its socket on the motherboard. You don't need to apply any pressure - if it's aligned correctly, it should fall into place. Once you have it in, cinch it down with the lever arm. Now...

...“The Virtual PC Build” When building a performance PC the first step is to carefully pick the power supply and case it is of upmost importance in a build. It is the very foundation of the computer itself. Without these components you cannot have a functional PC. The Power Supply is very important itself as it delivers the power needed to run all the computer’s components and also provides all the power cables I will need to supply the expansion components that will be installed later in this build. Different devices in the computer and on the motherboard all need different levels of power so to speak so the power supply also reduces and converts the raw electricity into the exact amounts needed by each component by using capacitors and resistors etc. built within the power supply itself. The Case is also very important in this build as I will need a case that can support the motherboard form factor and power supply design I have chosen. The case must also have the needed expansion slots built in and the correct amount of expansion bays for my optical drives. For the power supply I have chosen the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply, this power supply has everything I need to power all the devices and expansions I will be adding to the computer its specifications are as follow: “Model number OCZ700MXSP, Type ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V, Maximum Power 700W, 1 x 135mm Fan, Main Connector 20+4Pin, PCI-Express Connector 1 x 6-Pin, 1 x 6+2-Pin, SATA Power Connector...

The computers that I have assembled will provide the employees with ample computing power to keep them productive and quality components to reduce downtime. I was able to stay under your budget of $1,000.00 per machine, these come with Windows 7 Professional for ease of administration. However, all office productivity software will need to be installed upon delivery using your existing site license for the various software programs that the employees will need. OBJECTIVE I’ve assembled computers that cost under $1,000.00 each, including shipping costs. The computers use quality components from reputable manufactures. I’ve chosen AMD 3.9GHz processors w/ onboard graphics accelerator to reduce cost due to the fact that your employees will not require high end graphics rendering. This processor will provide years of reliable service and will not require upgrade as your software needs mature. I chose to provide 16GB of RAM to enhance the user experience during multitasking. I used two 8GB DIMMs with two open slots to provide for future upgrades when needed. The processor and chipset will support up to 64GB of memory if you should ever need that much. I used 10,000RPM, 500GB hard drives to provide quick access to files when your...

...ARCHITECTS ARCHITECTURE OR USERS ARCHITECTURE The construction industry is based around projects. Each project is every time different and unique on its own design, management and construction. Nevertheless a project is not only made out of concrete, wood or any of the materials used on it, a project is a lot more and a lot deeper than that. It is not a quick sketch on a napkin. A project is influenced by its atmosphere which is the location, the client or the user, and even the contractor hired for the project. Architecture is influenced by anything happening around it, which is why it changes every time its atmosphere changes. Böhme states that to experience space in its complete entirety. By inhabiting space individuals can sense the character that surrounds them. Inhabitants sense its atmosphere. Photography, written articles and the interpretation of other viewers of a space cannot compare to individual experience and interaction in interior spaces. Recently this way of interaction has become an important discussion between architects and designers. The process of a project is not anymore unique, and it becomes something functional. It is thought that a template can be followed even when the client or the factors involving the project change every time. For example many architects choose the same sub-contractors for each project as they believe they are trustful and successful, even when the clients have their specific needs and vary...

...BACKGROUND & UPDATING Build a bear was founded in 1996, in a really hard context for companies in United States, even more for new companies that were trying to come up with something new or in this case for something creative. It was hard at the beginning, but three years later it was recognized as one of the hottest retailers in United States, people also got proud of how a small company could grow up so fast and also to get in the bests companies for customers. Build a Bear was opened by first time in 1996, having after that over more than 200 companies around United States; right now it has even more than 400 companies around the world in four different countries (United States, UK (United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, and Canada), they also give the chance to make it possible for creating a store by starting at least with 5 million dollars (it depends of the country, but that is the minimum capital people have to start with), it doesn’t mean it will be a sub franchising or something similar, they still be the total owners of the store making the country as a new point of the brand. The idea came up in a really particular situation between Maxine Clark and her friend. She was only 10 years old when she was trying to get a bear toy from the store with her friend, but her friend couldn’t find the one she liked it, and then she said it should be a great idea about making her own teddy bear, it was the moment when Maxine went even deeper, and she got a creative and also a pretty...

...clients that are being served. One company many people would not expect to be on The Fortune 100 list is Build-A-Bear Workshop. For the fifth consecutive year, Build-A-Bear Workshop has been named one of Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” and is the only toy retailer on this year’s list. Build-A-Bear scored 62 out of 100 on the list. A woman named Maxine Clark founded Build-A-Bear Workshop in 1997. She is considered one of the true innovators in the retail industry. In an interview for CNN, Clark stated: “In 1997, I withdrew $750,000 from my retirement account to get Build-a-Bear Workshop off the ground. That covered startup costs and the building of the first prototype store. I also secured a bank line of credit for inventory and working capital, with my house as collateral. I knew I wanted to build a multimillion-dollar business with hundreds of units, and I realized I didn't have the ready cash to fund that growth. I knew I'd have to partner with outside investors.” While building the first Build-A-Bear store, there was a story posted in the St. Louis Business Journal about the concept. Through this article, it caught the eye of Barney Ebsworth, who owned a private investment firm with his partner Wayne Smith, They bought in 20% for $4.5 million, therefore Clark had enough money for several years and she did not even open her first store yet! The first Build-A-Bear Workshop opened in the St. Louis Galleria, in which lines were out the door! Clark stated, “In...

...Swot Analysis of the Build-a-Bear Workshop Strengths Venturing into an untapped market for hands-on customisation of teddy bears, Build-a-Bear has established itself as a market leader. Its success derives from its dynamic retail concept where customers create their own teddy bears from choosing the outer casing of the bear down to stitching it up, personalising it along the way. The interactive nature of the process brings out the creativity and individuality of the customer and at the same time, allows them to have fun. Build-a-Bear is family oriented and does not restrict the age of customers to below 12, hence is an ideal place to go for family bonding. Guests enjoy the highly visual environment, the sounds and the fantasy of this special place while they create a memory with their family and friends. Why Build-a-Bear has been successful so far is probably the fact that the customer walks out of the store happy and satisfied. Due to the popularity of the Internet for networking, especially amongst today’s Internet savvy kids, Build-a-Bear has launched a virtual world- buildabearville.com- to pique their interest in their products and build customer loyalty. There, guests can bring their furry friends to life online to play together, create their own online character, play games, chat with friends and more. Knowing the market is essential in keeping up with the changing wants of kids, which is why the “Virtual Cub Advisory Council” was created, where a panel of children...
