How to Construct a PC System

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that one of the first things to consider in putting together a PC system is the computer's intended use, which will influence the choice of power supply, CPU and motherboard. The author points out that, after assembling the components, it's almost time to start the build; however, there are a few simple safe practice guidelines such as wear an anti-static band around your wrist to eliminate the threat of "frying" your drive, motherboard, CPU and other sensitive components because of static electricity build-up. The paper instructs that, if the computer does not begin to install the operating system from the CD drive, the builder might need to get into the BIOS to set it to read from the CD.

From the Paper:

"3. Carefully take out the motherboard from its antistatic bag and match up the holes in the board to the holes on the case. Then add the plastic stand-offs (supplied) to those holes. At this time, also make sure that the rear of the motherboard matches the bracket at rear of case. If not, remove case bracket and replace with compatible bracket which will have been supplied by motherboard manufacturer. Before fixing the motherboard to the case, it is easier to attach the CPU and fan assembly to the motherboard first."
