Anatomy of a Computer

[@Wrathful2000]

Eli, I'm new to this business, and I work as a Server Manager, and I first started with your SNMP video. I have to say, I love the way you articulate your videos. I love how you go into great detail, and overall I appreciate who you are and what you do.

[@elithecomputerguy]

@KrimsonDZ This was literally the second video I shot over 2 years ago... All my new videos have good lighting and sound quality... at some point I'll redo these old classes..

[@bethanyleach669]

I am only a 9 ear old girl, but you explain evrything so good its easy to understand. :)...

[@drewdukes5123]

***** thats cool i wish i was

[@snono7796]

so you still in the it stuff ????

[@aliata1755]

Where are you now?

[@ogunsadebenjaminadeiyin2729]

She's 17 years old now. We're all growing old😂😂😂😂. With love champ.

[@michaelparry1383]

Eli, this is a great job for one of your first video units that you created. Although it was produced a fewl years ago, many are still watching it today. Good job.

[@MustHarb]

easy ,simple ,detailed,in a simple ,understandable , well spelled english .that is what i was looking for

[@Hoppy5454]

This guy should receive a award for these videos, I salute you Sir..

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Nice lesson. The part where you spoke about the blocked air vents, causing the PC to shutdown, was really informative.

[@SixStringsOFury]

Great video! I'm trying to build knowledge, and have been looking for answers on multiple sites, and I feel like this video just covers so much of it for me.

[@osterpenpen9379]

While dated, the video is quite informative. SATA III, which he states "just came out" was ratified as a standard in August 2008, so five years ago now. Even so, a minor nitpick, you have confused PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) with SATA I (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment). PATA is the technical name for what we call IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) which just means the drive has an onboard controller board. Technically all modern hard drives are considered "IDE".

[@albertwesker7924]

This is the first video i saw althought i am a pc technician even a normal average pc user can learn. Well done

[@elithecomputerguy]

@GameVoidCommentaries Servers are built to be on 24 hours a day for years at a time. You CAN use desktop hardware for a server, but in "real" business you buy higher quality parts for servers...

[@frozendude707]

At 11:00, should that not be, in order, SSI EEB, micro ATX, and mini ITX? And at 40:20, you can pause the POST-screen with the [Pause]-button on the keyboard, resume with [Enter]. You can usually remove the start-up picture with [Tab], and then you can quickly press [Pause].

[@lukusacrispin950]

your are the best teacher I have never met in my life

[@sbsanni]

*ever met

[@gbubble79]

regardless of the type of server, it's role is to serve and to be reliable. this reliability is achieved, as Eli said, throught the use of quality parts but moreso though built in redundancy. sometimes this redundancy means 2 power supplies and most times it means a RAID disc array(Eli does a great raid vid, search).

[@Permafrostrock]

Great video tutorial that closed a lot of gaps I had since using computers. Even if you know how to access different parts of your computer it is a good idea where they physically are and how they are connected.

[@Counter_Hour]

One of the last true nerds.

[@Cheezsoup]

Probably (but not certainly) an overheating issue. Ensure there is a clear air path, fans are running, heatsink fins are clear etc.

[@pandorachild]

@elithecomputerguy I am a new fan of yours Has it been decided yet whether turning a computer on and off is better or worse than leaving it on and letting it hibernate?

[@na6807]

Power Supply has the "power" to kill you that supply truely is powerful....awesom vids Eli you explain stuff so basic that it is supper easy to understand its hard to explain that type of stuff to someone that knows nothing about computers and this explaination is to the point

[@JAGIDTechNewsReviews]

Would it be OK if I used some of your video as ciriculum in a small class of about 10 students? I really love the quality.

[@Inaflap]

21:20 PATA was not the name of the first SATA! PATA (Parallel ATA) was just a new name assigned to the IDE drive technology when the SATA (Serial ATA) drive was released. Also whilst the SATA drives are quoted in Mb/s (megaBITS per second), the PATA / IDE drives, are quoted in MB/s (megaBYTES per second), because they transmit in a parallel fashion. Most common IDE (PATA) drives were rated 100 or 133 megaBytes per second... though 167 MB/s was available.

[@ogunsadebenjaminadeiyin2729]

I like your pedagogic style.

[@alancapc]

Hey Eli your videos are awesome, I strongly suggest youtube users interested in IT to have a deep look at your channel, congratulations for the website as well! Thanks for your lessons!

[@dannedifyoudo]

Awesome. You are inspired to teach through KZbin and are ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT! YAY! (Rare...) Thank you.

[@rjayeguia3619]

hi eli, please do videos about storage and storage virtualisation... :)

[@Norman8891]

man I'm still looking at your videos Even from now. great teaching

[@ryanhaley12]

Coolest people in Baltimore: 1) Animal Collective 2) Eli the Computer Guy

[@SinisterJHardy541]

Thank you Eli the computer guy. All your video are very informative.

[@itpugil]

another awesome educational content ;) thank you eli

[@aliata1755]

10 years ago!?

[@carloleone9384]

Hi, Thanks for the awesome videos, but is there maybe a textbook to download that accompanies these lessons?

[@Anorak4K]

I have a question say I got a really good deal on a computer but the person forgot the password! How would I go about resetting it or finding it, thanks.

[@prats7627]

cant see anything inside the cpu can you use light and amke a new video for the same subject matters please

[@yiannisserpico2646]

Thanks Eli. Great job. I think (if not done yet - tried a lot to find in your videos but have not) you should make a detailed class on power supply units. Very important piece of hardware. Up the Irons from Greece!

[@maxypoo43]

Great great great video... Learned a lot thank you

[@ruenken]

the way you told the alternate way to get into the BIOS was awesome! haha! I do the same..

[@shek2cool]

cheers Eli, thats the best,easy and very informative tutorial. it cleared hell lot of doubts. thanks once again.

[@coderwilson]

Yes I did. I also recommended the Apple "geniuses" whom I do not approve. However, with the amount of information given, the person with the problem needs someone to help them in person, and even simple "geniuses" that have basic knowledge of a computer would be of more help than trolls on the internet.

[@amranali60]

I have this problem " Ethernet Controller doesn't have a driver" Have any ideas?

[@j7ndominica051]

Good explanation of RAM. Users sometimes get confused why they need or need to upgrade two types of memory. They generally think of the hard drive as the memory. The distinction gets muddied up with flash memory which cannot be heard and identified by regular user. The video card does need some RAM to hold the picture, and then some for double or triple buffering to achieve vsync, as well as enough bandwidth to read out the buffer, which matters for highest resolutions.

[@DistantThomas]

~28:50 I found blue ram chips in an 2010 laptop made right around this video was made.

[@KGproductions11]

Very good video! Very inspiring and informative! You just inspired me to continue my dream in information technology an some day establish my own business. Thanks a lot! keep up the good work!

[@Blackllamaboi]

dude you are amazing! ive been looking for a good explainer for all the parts and you did it perfectly! :D

[@sixwingproductions]

why dont we just bypass the ram and gice the cpu hdd access seems better to me and i do acknowledge i could be wrong

[@TheSharingan123]

sir! my computer sometimes suddenly shut downs on its own and i don't know the reason. please help! thank you in advance.

[@miroslawturon7673]

Awesome videos Eli. Just one thing to this video, I'm sure you're already know this but you don't have to buy new PSU if you run out of the connectors, just buy some splitter and you're good to go :)

[@Alvy.07]

Amazing teaching! Clarified so much for me! Thank you! Definitely subscribing.

[@mohammedsaleem1267]

i use to refer your video link...........for the people in the forum with questions........thumbs up

[@sudanyIT]

nice videos it will be good if the lights were not dimmed but as usual you rocks keep the good work man

[@athulabar1]

Excellent...I wish you all the best!

[@gbubble79]

@GameVoidCommentaries in reality a server is any computer that provides services(data storage, network/internet access, mail, application access, database management, ect) to any other computer. when most people think of a server they think of a 19" rack mount server sitting in a cabinet running 24/7/365 in a dedicated room, and this is the case in large business and IT enterprise, but, alot of small businesses run something that looks like a normal desktop case and shut it down nightly.

[@stevensmit3060]

Thank god for this channel. FAQ to the top! thanks for sharing Eli!

[@quik8484]

Your videos are very informative

[@j7ndominica051]

The performance difference from a new hard drive indirectly comes from its great capacity. It can read more data per revolution, and the head doesn't have to move as far to seek within a small system or temp partition. Also, if you reinstall the OS and transfer files instead of an image to a new drive, the data will become defragmented. A modern SATA hard drive connected to a first generation SATA port (generally still compatible) can transfer data at about 120 MB/s, which is an amazing speed.

[@andrewx580]

I love you're videos.very educational.

[@bavajith2603]

Excellent! very helpful material.

[@andonisr]

Great video and a lot of info. You can tell you love what you're doing...! Like others said before, your video was quite dark and you couldn't see more..! Try zooming more to the camera when explaining things like Motherboards, saw novices like me..can get a pretty good look of what is what..! Nevertheless...thank you and I have subscribed to your page..keep up the good work my friend...:-)

[@XFPSGaming]

tech changes so quick and its only going to get faster i like watching videos like this from years ago seeing how they explain out of date crap lol i saw there was a level beginner thing id say i would be intermediate heading in to expert

[@jacktsang05]

Great Job Eli. Love your channel.

[@KrimsonDZ]

Thx there's a lot of information but if just you can buy us a light projector ,we appreciate.

[@TheBdemba16]

[@10026270]

been watching your channel quite a while now and love the videos. thanks a ton! oh yeah! i subscribed to your channel.

[@tough213]

Thank you very much for the informations! You've made my life alot more easier!

[@SamySantana]

The majority of people will never care to understand this and instead pay someone like me to fix their computer/technical problems.

[@doormat321]

DO NOT UNPLUG THE COMPUTER FROM THE WALL. Turn the switch to the off position, for the reason: that your computer should be grounded at all times so you do not unload a lot of static and fry your components. I am unaware of the US socket standards if this is not applicable to you, The UK standard has a dedicated ground for prety much everything. Hope what im saying is relavent and you didn't miss out what i said because it wasm't applicable.

[@andrewx580]

my computer is dead. I will explore it's anatomy.

[@Cheezsoup]

What password? The the one held in the BIOS one can be reset to blank by clearing the CMOS (part of the BIOS). . If it is one on an account delete that account. If it is one with administrator rights, XP there is a "trick" involving safe mode, or you could use some password finding software like Ophcrack . No recommendations just Google it.

[@coolwater2060]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@Apolloartz]

PATA is not SATA, PATA is IDE (Parallel) SATA is Serial...How can there be three types of SATA and you list PATA is one???

[@jtorres8416]

has any one payed attention the close caption in English from Eli it just way off topic what eli is say, some of them are halarious .

[@kjakobsen]

PATA is just another name for IDE. IDE/PATA evolved into SATA. And SCSI evolved into SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)

[@tonytango48]

Eli! Love this vid! U the best!

[@depressorfull]

Thanks Heath.

[@kirollos210993]

@todotechno1 Mate thats rude. If you don't like it, atleast thank him for what he has done. If you know better, correct him.

[@wamu8851]

Hey Eli we needed some light!!! Good video though!

[@markstevenson6013]

You are awesome

[@Todd_Palmer]

helped tons thanks!

[@Cheezsoup]

The cables that say master and slave are probably to connect IDE drives to your motherboard (two drives per socket one of the two has to be "in charge" hence Master) Flat ribbons with lots of wires and a red stripe at one side ?. The one marked cpu board FDD is probably the one that joins the Floppy Disk Drive to your motherboard (cpu board). Less wires than the IDE cable but still with the red stripe?
