As promised, with pics
This is not meant to be a proper thorough tutorial, just more to give a general idea, and show how fucking easy! it really is.
I apologise in advance for the crap cable-ties I used, I forgot to bring some with, and this is all I could find at home.

Let us begin.


ESD Shoesss
- you need(should be using!) some sort of ESD protection before touching your parts.
usually recommended is a wrist-strap.
i just happened to have shoes from my old job.
i know, real helpful when i'm sitting on the carpet while building..




inside the empty case


remove the 5.25 drive bay covers
(note: I wound up putting the RW drive in the 3rd one down, instead of the 2nd. Why, later.)



2x optical and 2x hdd


slide the opticals in from the front.
reader on top, burner below.


Then, put in your hdd's (no pic)

Screws!
The fine-threaded are for the opticals, the coarse-threaded for the hdd's.


Then I screwed in the PSU (I prefer doing it when the case is standing).


Case is laying on it's side now, easier to do the rest this way.
These things are hard to get in sometimes, a slot-head screwdriver helps.
Oh, and break out your expansion slots before putting the board in,
there may be capacitators close by if you do it later.
then, you must be careful, esp. if they're hard to get out like these were.


Put the board-screw-holders in. ONLY AND EXACTLY! where you need them.


... just randomly staring at the board before thermal-pasting it and putting the HSF on...


the board is now screwed in...
the screws need to match the thing you're screwing into.
these used fine-threaded screws.



now we connect the front-panel stuff
what goes where is usually printed on the board, and is in the manual.
which direction depends on the case, but try writing-side down first.



excess cable is back behind the 3.5 thing.


ATX is plugged in and cabled away from the cpu fan.
those silver cables, all the cables on this PSU really, are rather stiff.



IDE cables plugged in and as out-of-the-way as possible
NOTE: there is a problem here, I had to fix later.
whomever designed the board put the IDE slots in backwards.
I just assumed ide1 on the bottom and ide2 on the top.
ya know, since that's how most people build puters Wrong!
This is why the burner is in the 3rd slot - the cable is like 2 cm's too short to reach the bottom ide.



Bela the cat is not interested in helping.


power cables plugged in and neatened up a bit.
that hanging extension thingy is for the fans on the side panel under the window.


like so.


random view through the window.
this thing needs some pretty lights, eh?


and here's the happy geek with her freshly-built sex-machine!!!
(but, you can't really see the puter.. oops!



So, there ya have it!
I'll be fixing things up a bit later I'm sure, lighty-things and better proper cable-ties and whatever else she needs.
