For loop only giving one item in list

Not sure why I am only getting one part from my computer_parts list. 

computer_parts = ['motherBoard', 'processor', 'graphicsard']
vowels = list('aeiou')
output = []

for parts in computer_parts: #breaking down the list 
    parts_list = list(parts.lower())
    #removing vowels by seperating the inital list into a list of letterss
    for vowel in vowels:
        while True:
            try:
                parts_list.remove(vowel) 
            except:
                break
#joining words inside of spaces and capatilizing first letter
output.append(''.join(parts_list).capitalize()) 

print(output)

Your join and append to output needs to be indented one stop. It is currently executed once after both for loop complete.

I gotcha, it needs to run inside the for loop.
