Build the real thing

DIY

Clear-case build assembled by learners

Build a real desktop in a clear case, together: motherboard, CPU, memory, storage, graphics card and power supply. Then install an operating system and watch it boot.

Cost: $$$ · Over $100
Time: Multi-week project
Screens: Needs a computer

For the grown-up

Never open the power supply unit itself: it can hold a dangerous charge after it's unplugged. A grown-up checks the build before it's plugged in.
