Ok to start clearing off a spot to work on, here I have cleaned off my kitchen table.
Here I have all my parts That I need, 300watt case, AMD XP 2400 Processor, Western Digital 80gb 8mb buffer Hard Drive, Geforce4MX440 Video Card, Keyboard, Benq 17" LCD Monitor, Optical Mouse, Lite-On CDRW-DVD Combo Drive, Mitsumi Floppy drive, Gigabyte 7VT600L mobo, Speakers, 512mb PC3200 DDR
Now is time to get the motherboard ready to put in the case...you need the memory, CPU, Heatsink, and motherboard.
Take the motherboard out of it's packing and lay it on the table...
Now is the time to get the processor and motherboard out of it's package.
Now lift the lever for the processor socket straight up to a 90 degree angle.
Now line up the pins and drop the processor in...you shouldn't have to force it.
Now lower the lever for the heatsink.
Now your ready to put the heatsink on...first look at the CPU and the socket and look at how it lines up.
Now put the heatsink on from the top...don't put it on at an angle!
Now slide the one clip over the edge.
Now take a screw drive and clip the otherside (it will take some force...but don't be scared)
Now it's time to put the memory in....line up the notchs and release the white tabs and push it in till it "clicks"
This is what properly installed memory looks like
Ok this motherboard is all ready...has the heatsink, processor and memory installed.
Ok now get the case out of the box.
Now take off both sides....
Now remove all the metal that you don't need and install the back plate...sorry i don't have pics...forgot to take that one
Now check the mobo and the case and see if you have to install standoff...if so install them now.
Now gently lower the motherboard into the case....
Secure the motherboard by putting the screws in.
Now hook up the switches, leds, and front usb ports if you got them
Now put in the video card.....just push it in and make sure it's seated firmly.
Now seat all the jumpers for all your drives.....
Mount them in the case and then hook up the CD-ROM audio cable.
Hook up all the ide cables...usually they are keyed so you can't install them upside down...
Now plug the cables into the motherboard.
Hook up power to the board...this connector will only fit one way...
Now plug in power for all your drives.....
Double check everything...slap the sides on it....check for other mobo jumper settings and you should be ready...
And now we have the finished project.
