How Long Does It.....

take about 4 - 5 hours (if you know what your doing)

Also it's not a bad idea to benchtest your components before installing in the case.
Assemble the CPU (with HSF), memory and video card and hook to a power supply.
Make sure it will post.
Then add HDD and check for post.
Repeat with optical drives, etc.

That way, after final assembly if there is a problem, you know it was with your installation into the case, not with the components themselves.
