No, you can just read sig rigs.

how long should it take to assemble?

Coldnapalm · 08-04-08

my setup took 20 min to setup but putting my heat sink on took 45min... i was a totally noob and my sig rig is my first build as well but heres a tip or 2 [noob tips] when putting it together dont try to put the mobo in while the tower is in the upright position lay it flat.. i put my whole rig together while the tower was in the upright it was a pain :P also try to have someone that knows a thing or 2 about rigs around

Also if/when it piss's you off dont break anything

Yeah, don't try to even install anything with it standing upright. Not a good idea.
