We decided that we would get multiple angles of the building process so that we could pick out the best camera perspectives to use in our tutorial video. Multiple people held cameras while Ivan and I assembled the computer one part at a time and Fayaz held a flashlight so that the cameras could have good lighting. After a while, Josh got there. Josh brought his Nikon D5200 camera and he became the main cameraman.
Further into contruction, we realized that we were missing 2 parts. We were missing a SATA cable for the optical drive and a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch adapter for the SSD. Half of us went to microcenter to pick up the parts while half of us manned the house. Ivan did not want to leave his computer sitting there unguarded.
As night rolled around, people began to leave and I had to leave as well. Albert stayed behind and him and Ivan finished the physical construction of the computer. Although it took around seven hours, we finally finished assembly of the computer.
All that was left was installing the OS. To save money, Samir got us a bootleg version of Windows 7 OS. Although it should have worked, it was not installing properly. The next day, Josh and Patrick came over to Ivan's house to try to install the operating system because they knew a bit about installing operating systems. However, this was all in vain and nobody knew what the problem was. Finally, we called our friend Jason and he came over. He figured out the problem in under 20 minutes. It was a broken front USB port that would not transfer the files. After installing the OS, we installed the drivers and the computer was set.
In the next few weeks, we will be managing the video files and making it into a tutorial.
