Getting exited!
Cool down buddy. And don't be in hurry to connect the power supply to
mains outlet.
We will start with
computer case and power supply. Now a days computer cases are built in
with the power supply. If power supply is not fitted, please follow
these steps.
Try to find a PSU
with a minimum power rating of 300 watts. Get the power supply box.
Unpack the power supply. Also unpack the computer case. Check the
fitting screw kit. Check the instruction guide to decide how to open
the case. In most cases, we have to remove side covers. Now check the
back side of case to find fan hole. Generally this hole is at the top
side. You have to mount the power supply so that fan of power supply
will match with the large hole. You should ensure that the fan outlet
and power socket on the Power supply will face outward. Now tighten the
fixing screws with the help of proper screw driver to hold the Power
supply in place.

Now unpack the
motherboard.Generally it is packed in anti static bag. On the
motherboard you will notice small holes with metallic rings. Find the
matching points inside the case to install computer motherboard. Use
fixing supplied with the case to allow you to screw the motherboard
into place. These fixing will raise the motherboard around half an inch
off the mounting plate. For additional precaution, you can place
insulation sheet, between case and motherboard. Please note that the
components are soldered on motherboard.

case. As this may result in short circuit which will ultimately damage
the motherboard circuit.

are accessible to the rear of the case.See the photo carefully to
