Bolt all this down. spacers will come with the motherboard, match up holes with motherboard in case. Put the power supply in there will be an obueuse connector, small four pin connector. Plug in fans to the power supply.

I didn't know that computers were so complicated they look like just simple machines,but in those videos I found out that computers aren't really that simple.

These videos explain why I only use the computer for only what I need and that is the least possible. It is interesting to see how they where put together.
