Make sure you connect the power switch connector to the motherboard , its amazing how many people i know who thought their mobo was faulty because they didnt know they had to plug in this connector.

I think it&#39;s a lot easier to install the chip and HSF with the board out of the case.

yea, i think thats what kliterock was trying to say ....but also, amke sure your jumper are correct...especially the cmos jumper...if its set to "clear cmos" your comp will not start.....thats what happen to me on my first comp. took me almost half an hour to figure how to fix it [/b][/quote]
Not always true.

Alot of times, you can boot it, it will just not retain any changes you make to the BIOS/CMOS during that boot.

You forgot to list the most important part of a system. What&#39;s Your motherboard?

I also noticed that you don&#39;t say brands for the HD, RAM or DVD RW -/+ etc.

I bet if you used cheap parts you could do that yourself.

Still, I think the 12 months guarantee is worth at least something. You can give &#39;em it back if it blows up or something.

For pure ease of assembly, I would assemble most of the components onto the board before screwing it in, making sure its not touching any potential static, then screw it in....the exception to this being the graphics card, because it will only get in the way when you are lining the motherboard up
