Hi, Ive just bought my Lian Li PC7 and it'll be here on Tuesday but im wondering is there anything i should look out for while taking my hardware out and putting it in the new case? Kind of an Odd question but im just making sure as im pretty new to Pc building.

hi guys thanks for the responces. Static was one of my main worrys and also "sweaty" hands. My hands sweat a lot so would surgical gloves reduce the chance of damaging any of the hardware? I dont have a problem with the cables and leads as my PSU is all modular and i can do that step by step. but ive decided to write out a plan on what im to do, Please correct me if you have a better solution.

Removing:
1.Discconect all cables.
2.Take PSU and Cables out.
3.Take HD's and Drives out.
4.Take out all PCI/PCI-E cards out.
5.Unscrew mobo and take out (with CPU/HSF/Memory attached)

Lay all out of anti-static bags.

Installing:
1.PSU
2.Mobo (CPU/HSF/MEM) and Screw inplace
3.HD and Drives
4.PCI Cards
5.connect all Cables and boot.

sound alright? Hopefully this goes error free but like always something will go wrong for me.

Ta, Ryan
 
yeah mate, i have another pc which ill be able to hook up downstairs as i think its best to do in the kitchen as theres more space to work.
 
My PC7+ arrived about 10 minutes ago so i am looking forward to the rebuild. also i never noticed the mesh at the bottom left hand corner of the side panel. but anyways wish me luck!!! :D

lol yep..well ive finished the build and i have to say what a noisy case!, its like a tornado is in my room. those 120mm Fans do pack a punch tho as my mobo has dropped by 15c in temperature but i have a problem with the I/O sheild i think its called as it wudnt fit so i just left it out..hope thats not going to be a problem?
 
ahh right thanks for that, anyone know wether the 120mm akasa LED fan is quite?. I saw matts PC7 and his looks awesome with the blue Fan at the front.
