Gutting out old computers

This week in my GenYes course students started to take apart some old computers. For all practical purposes these machines should probably be going to the boneyard. But with a little TLC and some compressed air these old Pentiums are perfect for learning basic computer hardware and also the ideal Linux client. 

This week we completely disassembled the computers and sorted out each component. Next week we will reassemble them and install Linux. The following week we will network them and play Starcraft. Afterwards we will install theses machines in classrooms so they can be used for Edbuntu.
