The purpose of this guide is to instruct a user on how to replace a computer graphics card in a Raidmax Alpha case. A computer graphics card is a piece of computer hardware that produces the image seen on a monitor. This card renders an image to the monitor by converting data into a signal the monitor can understand. If this card is not present in a computer, the graphics will not be displayed. Using a better quality graphics card can give a better image that is output on the screen.

The user will need to have some basic background information on how to replace computer parts. If the steps to recycle the power in the computer are not followed, there could be residual current left that could be dangerous to the user.
