DIY:how to replace or install Motherboard/CPU/Memory(part 1)

In this vid I try to show and tell you how to install a new Motherboard and CPU and Memory. It is not a complete guide but I'm sure it contains useful information. I try to show that instead of buying a computer as a whole product it is fun to make one yourself out of seperate components. It will be cheaper too ! In the first 3min30sec I tell the story about my sisters dead computer, so if you're not intrested skip that part :)

i bought a d945gbo to replace the d945gcz mobo in my gateway gt5012 and was wonderin this: where do i get the front panel to make use of 4x usb headers (total is 8x usb w/ 4 in rear port) when my original pc only has 3x usb (1 usb w/ media card reader & 2x usb w/ 2x firewire(i dont need this) & the mic/headphone jacks)? installation of mobo will be done by a pro of course, not myself.

Hi try google for 'front panel' and look for front panels with 4 usb connectors. There are front panels for 3.5 '' slot and for 5.4 inch slots. I am too busy to help you all the way through. I'm sorry :(

How do i make sure that the new motherboard that i am making will align perfectly with the multiple screw holes of my case? do most cases have multiple screw holes to align the motherboard with? are all motherboards a set size? or do i run the risk that even if my new motherboard does fit in my case, it still won't align with the screw holes?

my reaction was too long so I posted you a private message

measure corner to corner and screw to screw if its close it will work

lmao thats the hard way the easy way is to compare before you buy than buy at store or on line
