First we start with a graphics card, I have a 5750 here

Now ati cards get very hot, almost as hot as fermi's, which is why I will be freezing it in water, or as the pro's call it "water cooling"

in you go! This form of water cooling is pretty good, but as I do not have LED's (blue of course) I need to freeze it so I can play high end games....

while that is freezing let us install the CPU or "chip"

NOTE: I recomend putting most electronics in a high staticly charged area, I am on a carpet wearing socks, find this gives me alot of shocks, but think about it. The word electrons is in electronics, must be good for them!

Now we just put CPU where it calls for the chip

At this point closing that bracket, maybe difficult, I recommend a hammer or screwdriver to pound it in there

next is installing the gfx card

I had to cut some golden teeth off to make it fit, but finally got it

Next is ram, I had to do the same technique as the gfx card

Next is the power cords, even a monkey could do this LOL

Finally the CD/HDD combo, I self hacked it and made the door thingy go away so I can load dvds and stuff in like a fancy one

You're finished! I recommend installing a free windows knock off like ubuntu or windows 7 ultimate edition
