Things you forget when building

[Guest2]

I swapped everything over to my new Fractal case last night. Everything went in fine, I couldnt be bothered hiding all the molex cables so left them at the bottom in the spare fan compartment.

I went to plug the keyboard etc in and had missed the backplate. I have forgot to install the blackplate 3 times now when re-building. So annoying.

Will either leave it off or unscrew the board tonight and stick it in

Just remembered, once, about 8 years ago i put the cpu in the socket, put the big heatsink on and fired up the machine. I realised after a minute or two that I had put no cpu paste on, all was fine and nothing was broken.

Another time I connected everything up, shut the door on my case but forgot to plug in the cpu fun. Again, I remembered after about 20 seconds of it being on
