Computer Building 101

I finally placed the order and received all the parts to build my new computer this week. I completed the project in about six hours. I took my time to make sure I had everything connected properly and I still missed one power connector. Once the connector was in place, the system started properly. The Raidmax Sagitta case is quite impressive looking, although the SATA power connector is barely long enough to reach the hard drive. I still have a lot of software to install and data to transfer from my old computer, but so far it seems to run fairly well. The abit motherboard comes with a lot of nice features to make sure your system is running properly. Hopefully the new machine will last a few years, until it's time to upgrage again.
