Read Before putting your computer together

[saxofoner]

Alright, I've got video of putting in the psu, the cpu, and the RAM. I didn't video the Graphics card, or mounting of the hdrive or cd drive. Today I will, however, video the plugging in of everything (the hard part).

The best guide is to get an old computer, take everything out, and put everything back together.

i think the hardest part of putting a pc together is all the little thin case cables, (unless theres a decent manual)

Agreed, all the other components can sort of only fit one way, and tend to be pretty self-explanatory. However, connecting those bloody case wires are a nightmare. I'm no noob, and yet I still haven't bothered struggling with my front-panel USB and headphone-jack wires. I hate having a hard time, and I don't use many USB devices, so I'm just gonna leave it.

What DO those plug into? I haven't really looked yet.

And about using an old computer: The only problem is that a lot of new types of cords and formats are in new computers.
