I just used this to build my computer (well, except for the intake fans and power supply hookups which will have to wait) and I must say it is a good guide. However, I would change the order of a few things.
__________________First I would install the RAM, CPU, and H/S to the mobo (in that order), and then put the mobo in the case. Then slap in the PSU and any cards. Then I'd do the fans, then the drives. Then I'd hook everything up. Why this order? A few things happened in my build. After putting in my mobo, my H/S had a backing that was supposed to go under, which I failed to install (AS5 and H/S install kicked my ass taking at least an hour alone). The PSU was getting in the way the entire time during the H/S install (mind you I have a 120mm HSF). Then, afterwards, I realized that the H/S blocked my first two RAM slots. I also see difficulty in installing 2 more intake fans in addition to my first 2 (since I took out the stock exhaust fans I could just use those) I will have problems getting them in with the HD installed. All in all, I have spent 5 hours doing his, gotten two cut fingers, broke off the VGA lock, and litterally put my own sweat and blood into this machine (only on some non-vital parts, luckily). It better work!

all that crap means nothing now. only things affected by that are floppy drives, which i dont recommend in the first place.
