Computer Assembly - How To Assemble A PC
Tools
Besides the parts list items, you'll need a few tools, most or all of which you probably already have.
- A Phillips screwdriver.
- A flathead screwdriver.
- Needle nose pliers, for one particular motherboard mounting screw and in case you drop something in a hard to reach place.
- A 5mm socket wrench, which is the size needed for the motherboard mounting posts that came with the Antec KS-282 case.
- A flashlight can sometimes come in handy when you're trying to make out something on an item you've already installed, but I doubt you'll really need it.
- Alcohol 99% pure or Acetone, if you'll be removing the pre-applied thermal compound from the CPU cooler to use the Arctic Silver 3 instead. If so then you'll also need a clean, expired credit card (for scraping), a brand new toothbrush (for scrubbing) and lint free cloths (for wiping and rubbing) to remove the pre-applied thermal compound.
Ok. Let's take a closer look at each component in their order of appearance. A general note: there are tons of pictures on the following pages. The small picture is displayed on the page by default since this is sufficient most of the time, especially after the first viewing, and it speeds up downloading considerably. Click on any picture to see it enlarged.
