At the beginning of the year Jonathan and I did research on the power supply of a computer and then made it into a presentation on a poster with some pictures. After that we got into the Pentium 3 Ubuntu project. What we did first was select a computer from the pile of computers and set it up and make sure it works (if it did not then we would select a new one, which it did). Every day after that for a few classes, as soon as we got into the classroom we would get a monitor, our computer, 2 power cables, a mouse, and a keyboard and hook them all together and start working on our computer. What we did for a few classes was just customize our computer and download some programs that we fealt would be useful to have on the computer.

We took apart another one after that also. We then picked another computer that had a sign on it that said "cannot boot", to see if we could get that to work. We tried to hook it up and turn it on, but something was wrong with it. We figured that since it didnt even turn on, the problem would have to be either the power supply, the motherboard, or the processor. First we tried replacing the power supply a few times, but that did not do anything, so we then tried replacing the motherboard a few times (which took a little while to figure out how to do), but that didnt work either. I then suggested that we try replacing the processor and we did a few times and we finally got on that worked , and the computer turned on! on (we used parts from one of the computers we salv]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:15:23 +0000 mod http://tuckercbarc.pbwiki.com/ClassroomProgress email.hidden@example.com (t) t edited ClassroomProgress Classroom Progress

The biggest problem that I have had with my XBOX 360 was keeping it cool while I am playing it, so, with the help of my dad, I cut a hole in the back of the shelf that the XBOX is in, fit the fan and and secured it there, and made a switch that is easily accessable, right next to the XBOX, which turns on the fan. Also, after that we bought a fan that hooks right up to the xbox and is meant for it. The idea is that the fan that hooks right up to the XBOX sucks the hot air out of the actual console, while the fan that I kooked up on the shelf sucks the air out of the whole shelf area. It has significantly improved the amount of time I am able to play on the XBOX without it overheating and I have had no problems with my XBOX (that is heat related) since.
This is a picture of the fan that is screwed into the back of the shelf that the XBOX sits in.
