xXShaddowTXx: Shouldn't this be locked for spam?

xXShaddowTXx: Alright then. :P

GameRager: So did your "computer' arrive yet, Dr. Frankenstein? ;)

xXShaddowTXx: Ha ha! Not yet! It's 2:28 AM here it's supposed to be here at 3:00 PM or so. I'm excited :D Won't be able to put in the extra RAM stick until Monday or Tuesday though.

GameRager: Make sure when you start building it to do so in an open space on a level clean surface(big tables work wonders).....preferrably a room with no carpeting to avoid static discharge. Then place the case on the table along with the parts boxes, ground yourself(by touching bare metal or even the PC case) before handling any parts to discharge any static charge in your clothing/etc, then unpack the parts.....start with mobo or power supply, then cpu(and heatsink/fan)......make sure everything is seated properly and that you apply thermal paste to the top of the cpu(a pea sized drop in the center of the top of the cpu will do) after seating it in the mobo but before adding the fan/heatsink on top of it and locking that in place.

Then add hdd and connect power to HDD and SATA cable between HDD and mobo. And lastly add RAM sticks and video card in proper slots. Then connect power cable if needed to video card. Then close er up and test er out.

xXShaddowTXx: Copied. I'll use that as the instructions. :P Thank you.

GameRager: Oops forgot two steps.

lol :P Thank you.

1. Make sure to install cd/dvd drive around the same time as HDD and connect ribbon style cabling from cd/dvd drive to mobo and also connect proper power cord to cd/dvd drive.

And another step at the end......make sure to connect front panel connector wires connected to inner front side of case(which connect mobo to power button and usb outlets & the like) to proper spots on mobo. Or else power button won't do anything.
