Ok well i have just orderd my very first rig :))))))))) and am very happy. only problem is now i got to put it together when it arrvies. I have researched and done computers before, just like taking apart and putting back together again to fix and clean them, so i do know a little about what im doing, but my concern is what order i need to put it togerther and maybe any unobvious things i need to do beforehand.

Can you give me any advice and tell me a rough order of how i put this together:

CP-127-AM AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA4400CDBOX) (CP-127-AM)
£284.95

Lian-Li PC V1000 PLUS Silver Aluminium Midi-Tower (No PSU)
£114.95

Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3055)
£324.95

Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard
£69.95

Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM
£54.95

Enermax Liberty 620W ELT620AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
£89.95

HP DVD840i 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer LightScribe ReWriter (Black)
£34.95

LG Logitech G5 Gaming-Grade Laser Mouse
£37.95

Saitek Keyboard Illuminated (black)

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2
£124.95

Everglide Ricochet 2.52 - Black
£23.95

Additional Notes:
I have a old floppy drive in my old computer, does that need any extra things for it, i hear sata drives need a floppy to install windows

I will probably be installing a not so legal version of windows ME. Other then the legal cases is this just like installing a normal one, or would i need another windows installed first, then install ME?

thanks in advance

ok thanks for all the help, im reading the first link suggested and am finding that very helpful. Last question, bit offtopic, is it possible to change my case that i ordered from silver to black? they are the same prieces i beleive so i hope this would be allowed as im now thinking that black would look much nicer in my room.
