My Action Phase with creating my product consisted of 3 days. Each separately focusing on different parts when building. The first day includes the inserting of the CPU (Central Processing Unit), the brain of the PC. The motherboard, the part which allows for other components to communicate. The case, which holds the components together and increases the safety for them. The RAM (Random Access Memory), which is the very fast and temporary data storage that a computer needs. The second day includes the SSD (Solid State Drive), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and PSU (Power Supply Unit). The second day focuses on the storage and the operating systems for power and access. The third day includes the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), which accelerates graphics rendering and that the GPU can access multiple points of data simultaneously. Fans are another part which allow for the cooling of the PC to regulate damage and good performance. Other things with disregard too the parts are cable management and inserting cables.

Challenges
The challenges that I encountered helped me understand my mistakes based off my entire process.
- Inserting my CPU
- How the parts needed to be inserted
- How long it takes to insert the parts
- Where the cables should go
Underestimating the difficulties I would face when building my product made me understand how much more research and knowledge is needed too disregard these things from occurring. By have efficient sources and research skills helps with growing a deeper understanding and have a more successful process and product. Throughout these 3 days I would say, the 3rd day was the hardest, due to the inserting of cables and how many there were too use. Using my prototype pictures and preparation did also help guide me too not fall into even worse problems.
