I'm getting a new case, PSU and cables and gonna transfer mobo and everything else into the new case. I've never done this before and I read the new build FAQ. Can you guys think of anything that would be different in this scenario? I replaced my heatsink and fan and that was a biotch. I'm worried the most about transfering my mobo. Any additional tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be too difficult. There are little peculiarities with every case that you find in the assembly process, but you shouldn't have any major problems. Take your time.

It looks ok with me i heard antec is good too. Case looks good too every case has its hard parts when putting stuff in them.

make sure you read through the mobo manual (usually the best place for case installation) - just make sure you don't do something silly like leave the mobo spacers out and screw the mobo flat against the case!

I done that before its easy make sure you check all your wires i didn t and a fried my motherboard. But that was a wile ago when i was still a noob.

take your time. if anything dosnt fit right "dont" force it. it should all fall into place with out any real dificulty. take your time,go slow and check all your conections,double check all your conections.

Chances are you'll end up plugging in a hard drive or disc drive backwards, so before ya seal your case back up, boot it and ensure that everything is detected properly, and your disk drive works (i.e. the red light isn't on all the time).
