How to Build a Computer (and take it apart)

Image from How Stuff Works
After completing Chapter 0 in Computer Confluence we should have a decent understanding of the major parts of a computer. Now that we have this theoretical knowledge, we will get some real experience working with taking a computer apart, seeing how it works, and putting it back together.
To prepare for our computer building (and disassembling) workshop, read this article, "How To Build A Computer," from the website howstuffworks.com. Make sure you are comfortable with the terms in the article, and are ready to jump into a computer, take it apart, and put it back together. We will only have about 40 minutes to do this and we must be prepared!
For you audio/visual learners, check out the videos that accompany the article.
