Wilf's First PC Build Day

Wilf has been using Linux since he was nearly three. From nearly four he has been able to boot-up a Linux system and log into his user account. Now, at five and a half, he's going to build his first PC (with a little help from his Dad).

This is my motherboard. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My Dad's given it to me so that I don't keep having to use his computer.

We put the PC together on the workbench first, to make sure that it worked. Then we found a case to put it in.

When everything was in the box, and the screws tightened, I plugged in the cables.

Then I put the 'skin' back on the case and put the screws in....

...and my first PC was finished!
