Inside the Case I

Typical internal components:

• The motherboard (primary circuit board)
• The Hard Drive
• The Power Supply
• The Adapter cards
• Wires and connectors

Typically you open the side opposite the rows of connectors and ports. Slide latches or screws are typically what secure the side to the case.

Most cases also include a removable front cover, which you remove to install a new disk drive. Typically held in place with snap clips and alignment posts.
