Building a PC.....

I just thought that was some good points that poly called out.

ESD - Electrostatic Discharge

If you pick up your CPU with your bare hands (without ESD protection), there is a good chance that your 'stored' static electricity will find a path to ground via the delicate components in your CPU.

When I was in the USAF ,I worked with a lot of electronic componets
that were suspectable to ESD.

We had grounding points strategically placed everywere for us to constantly ground ourselves.

They were metal rods driven 6 ft into the ground ,and every 120 days
we would check the Ohm's Resistance on each one ,then re-stencil the
date around it ,when we last checked it.

It was always a danger to us (ESD)

just thought i'd tell ya that .lol

hi this is the first post on my new computer no problems building and it was very easy TBH .the only problems im having is with the extra usb and sound ports at the front of the case but apart from that its fine!!!

thanks for all your help!!!!

P.S the hardest thing was geting the wireless keybored and mouse to work ...........help if the battries are in right

Good job, it's good to hear.

Those ports are usually attached to the Motherboard through a small cable. Check in your motherboard manual so see if it says anything about it.

yea i have i know how to do it but the cables on the front ports are labled differnt to the manual?
