Computer Assembly - How To Assemble A PC
The Computer Case and Power Supply
The Antec KS-282 case. The computer case frequently ships in its own box, as shown here. Inside the case itself is the power cord that attaches to the power supply and a small, brown cardbox box that contains parts used to mount the motherboard inside the case.
The computer case comes with the power supply already installed, but I removed it to give you a better picture of it. The small, brown cardboard box includes brass colored mounting posts as well as screws of various sizes. The screws in the lower-left corner are bracket screws. The screws in the lower-right corner are mounting post screws. The difference in size between the two is very subtle, but the bracket screws are slightly larger. The mounting posts and mounting post screws are used to mount (secure) the motherboard to the interior of the computer case.
The Antec KS-282 computer case does not come with case fans, which is fine by me since I'd rather pick out my own quiet, efficient case fans. I picked up two Sunon 80mm fans, KD1208PTB2, one for intake and one for exhaust. The fans are OEM, so they come inside a box of styrofoam chips or wrapped in bubble wrap and, in my case, bundled together with the Arctic Silver 3 I also purchased. These fans provide a reasonable amount of airflow without being annoyingly loud.
