Mmmm, OK let me check, what am I smoking? HOLY COW! How did that get there?
Obviously you have experience and know what you're doing. Most of the PC's that I've done have basically snapped together too, no problem. But, there is always that one in X and you know what I'm talking about. I was just suggesting caution. Depending on how generic you get, I've known people to futz over just trying to put the motherboard properly in the case, trying to smash in simms backwards, bending and breaking/shorting CPU pins, puzzling over video cache settings/conflicts, trying to just swap the old drive and use it with a new controller. Without a doubt this is much easier than it used to be. I'm just saying don't count on it being a snap if you need that PC up and running the next day. I'm also saying that IT IS a great project, fun to do, and worthwhile.
