I bought a Thermaltake case about 3 years ago and at the time was planning on building it within that year, It never worked out that way.

I got hooked up with some of this stuff from a buddy at a pretty good price, so i figured why not. I listed everything i got below.

The computer shops around here wanna charge about 80 dollars to put it together..I think that's alittle pricy.

I'm hoping that i can manage to put it together myself, I mean it's pretty much install the pieces and plug them in. I was told that when i'm gonna install XP on a fesh or clean Hard Drive i should partition it first..Is this recommended?

Anybody have any tips or advice for somebody who's building thier first computer?
