comp parts algorithm =)

=) hi

these are the parts:

case, mb, ram, cpu, hdd, floppy, cdrw, video card, sound card, ethernet card, keyboard, mouse, OS

i'm buying that over 3 weeks period. but the refund/exchange period is 7 days after purchase.

how would i divide the parts into 3 categories. so i can test them as they arrive and still have time to return.

thank you =)

well it would depend on what other parts you have around your house or in other computers that you would want to test.

Obviously you need the motherboard, ram, and cpu all at the same time to make sure there are no issues there. (probably case too unless you have an extra one)

Next you need the hard drive, video card, and ehternet card.

From there you can get your floppy, cdrw, keyboard, mouse, and OS.

At least that is the way I would do it assuming you have some of the parts in another PC that would be needed to test in increments.

i've no other parts. only a monitor.

thanks for the help =)
