Building A Really Personal Computer

Have finally decided to do a detailed step-by-step setting up of my computer since I'm in the process of migrating it to another casing. I expect this to go on for a couple of months...

Latest update (13th Feb '05) -
Almost done! Top and insides are practically up.
Will have to start thinking of the front panel as well as how I wanna control my fans and lights...
By the way, I love my new PC! (Pics at the very last)
