"Hi, I'm Allen and welcome to Expert Village. Today, I'm going to show you how to build your own personal computer. Finally thing we are going to do here is if you have any upgrade cards or anything else you need to add on to this system. So I am going put it back on its side. So now I'm going to add one of these cards depending on whatever you need. These is an additional sound board, things like that depending on what you want to upgrade. The biggest thing in this system since it has a lot of stuff built on already is I need my RG45 jack, which is my network jack. You can always get a wireless one that goes USB but this one goes PCI. Now on the back of these systems you'll have these which are in all of these. Some of them work differently. They pop out or just screw in. And you can always get more of these online on EBay if you need to. And pretty much have a couple of these laying around because you want to close them off when you're not using them. So the slot that I'm going to need to do is that I am going all the way down to the bottom. And you will see the PCI slot. PCI, PCI, and it only goes in one way. You can just line it up and make sure it is lined up. And before you press it down, make sure it's in its slot nice and easy. Press down you're hear a click into place. And then we will go ahead and screw that down in there. And I'm go ahead get the screw. As I mentioned this screwdriver pops out so I have this option here too. And it fits right in the top there. So things are getting a little tight, just watch your hands. Put it in the spot, screw it down, make sure everything is lined up and you feel it tighten. That's nice and tight, that's in the space right there. And the only other slot that I will show you on here is a graphics slot 'cause it doesn't have graphics built on. So this graphics card is AGP. And you will see a couple different ones. Like I said, the PCIE, and they all have different slots. So you'll know what's on your board. And just read before you put it in. The PCIE has the little clip thing that you may have to move away, things like that. So goes in nice and easy right here. Slide it down in the space, again lines up and goes right into it. You're going to go ahead and screw it down..."
