Jamba Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 No not medically or scientifically! I've decided in my attempts to gain an IT support job and just for my general interest that I should start studying to pass the CompTIA A+ exam (which wasn't as vanilla as I was expecting!) The first exam requires me to have a general knowledge of hardware and some other things. What I thought might be fun was if you challenged me with some questions I'll post a topic every now and then so people know what I have been studying recently and the whole thing has a little structure. So this week's category can be identifying and categorising PC HARDWARE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Oooh, fun. I'm no expert but I'll start the ball rolling with an easy one. Whats the difference between these? (Colour doesn't count!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Ohhh interesting one. The top one looks like a regular ATX type PSU for a standard PC.... Is the second one a server PSU or a UPS? I'm just going by the huge amount of peripheral ports that it has. If I'm wrong let me know and I'll have another shot! EDIT: Aha! I was indeed wrong, the second one is an ATX-2 form factor isn't it because of the 24-pin connector :-) This is the bi where you tell me that the first isn't an ATX one Edited September 1, 2011 by Jamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 modular psu, vs normal psu. Modular just means the cables can be attached and removed, makes for a tidier case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
