    Carey is great! Love his videos and podcast. Unfortunately the question about how many screws come with a power supply was wrong. In the video it said 4, but the answer that was scored as correct was 6.

    I had the same thing happen to me with the question asking about the number of screws needed to put in the power supply.

    I didn't know building a computer came with pre-assembled, pre-made parts. Very interesting, thanks.
