Computer is a Modular system: A modern computer is a modular system, made up of several compatible industry-standard components. This modularity allows to assemble (to build) computers very fast and with special tools very easyly in any conditions such as in the store or in the warehouse. To buy the custom built computer from desktop or laptop (notebook) product lines, customized for your needs, you must choose its modules (parts) out of a list of options. Number and types of customized modules can be different for different types of computers. The computer modules can be internal and external. Changing external and several internal modules is called customization (upgrading). Some modules can be issued as series. Remember only that all computer modules must be compatible. Below, we will describe the main options for computer customization.
