-. Power Supply
-   * Receives power from the wall in AC form, then converts it to a more stable DC form which will not overload certain circuits.
-   * Sends power in various voltages to different parts of the computer through color-coated wires.{{ :notes:power_supply.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
-. Hard Drive
-    * This is where we save data that we do not want to be lost. It has wires called "SATA" wires connected to it for data and power transfer.
-    * It is usually solid and contains disks on which data is kept.{{ :lair:hard_disk_drive.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
-. RAM (Random Access Memory)
-    * Temporary data storage
-    * come in the forms of several smallish sticks. These hold a lot of data, but cannot store things when the power is removed from them.{{ :notes:ram.jpeg?nolink&400 |}}
-. Heat Sinks
-    * Look similar to metal "combs" or a series of tall parallel planes. Their purpose is to prevent pieces from overheating, which can warp them and is bad for the computer in general.
-    * These are Passively Cooling, there is also active cooling in the form of fans or water cooled systems.{{ :notes:heat_sink.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
-. Motherboard
-    * Contains all the essential information on the computer
-    * If you connect the pins in the pwd thing you can bypass security like some kinda hacker.{{ :notes:motherboard.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
-====How To Install Stuff====
-    *apt-cache search "something" // This is useful for finding exactly the program package you want, such as man-db, manpages, or manpages-dev, which will help you immensely with using things you know nothing about! //
-    *apt-get install "something" // This is used to install the thing which you want.  It is case sensitive, so make sure to type the exact package you want.//
-    *apt-get update // Update everything you've installed, but do not push the updates to the software yet.  Also updates the apt-cache.//
-    *apt-get upgrade // Push the update to all software on your system.  Be careful, it may break your system if there is a bad bug in the new update!//
-    *apt-get remove --purge "something" // Will completely remove the program specified, including any "crumbs" leftover.//
