PC Building - Updates & Questions

That stinks, and it also stinks that the majority of their prices are in-store only offers. Speaking of MicroCenter though, my experience was nothing but fantastic; an associate guided me through the entire process, helped me find replacements for parts that weren't in stock, and gave out tips when I told him this was to be my first build.

As of this point, I have all components inside of the case and am in the process of installing Windows. I couldn't have done it without you guys!

[Though I fear for my motherboard and case mounts; one of the screws simply would not thread into the standoff, and another standoff pulled out with a screw I was attempting to unscrew, possibly scratching the motherboard. Everything seems to be in order though, the BIOS works fine, and it posts no problem.]

Concerning Wi-Fi, you could either go with an internal PCI card or with an external USB one. I'd recommend the USB one for ease of use;

And I'm glad you've got some thumbscrews about. I must admit though, using a screwdriver is actually somewhat fun.

I'll go for internal PCI, my concern was that after my GTX, there wouldn't be enough room. With it stuck inside, I can't take a USB out and accidentally forget it.

I just recently found out that you can use thumbscrews on the inside, I thought that it was just for screwing on the side panel. :P

Ahh, makes sense. And thumbscrews on the inside are the best; especially considering how ridiculously easy it is to remove those rear-panels for the installation of your video card(s). :P

I guess I'll need some more thumbscrews then.
