Week 5- Hardware cont.

Along with all of the internal hard and software that is necessary for this program to work, the computers and cell phones must have the correct physical hardware. Although I will not be responsible for actually building the computers we will use in the dining halls, there are parts that must be purchased. Most of these are already included if wesimply purchase a laptop or desktop computer.
One important part that must be included is the motherboard, this is the piece of hardware that is the base to your entire computer and alomst all other pieces are attached to it. It is worthwhile to spend a great deal of money on this piece since it will tell the other parts of the computer how to function. If your motherboard is not working or does not last for a long time, my program will eventually have problems.
Other parts include a memory and a case. A case is the face of the machine and it controls the air flow. It is also worthwhile to purchase an expensive case because I do not want the system to over heat and shut down. Each piece of hardware is crucial because if the system is shut down for a long period of time the students will not be happy and it will cause chaos and difficulty in the dining halls.
