Transfering a computer from one case to another.

[TminusLoL]

I will be soon transporting my currnent pc into a new pc case soon. The case I have is the sagitta 2 and the one I got is the Lian li k-62. It seems the case is very easy to install to but I'm worried what troubles I will have. I have a static wrist strap and static paper for transporting the mother board but how should I go putting in parts and plugging in the power supply. I was gonna go power supply-mobo-cd drive- hardrive-pci slott stuff. The processor and ram are all installed. Also how difficult is it gonna be plugging the case's fans and usb ports in.

It's super easy. Don't worry.
Put the PSU in first, and have it plugged into the wall. The anti-static wrist wrap won't work, since the case is painted on the inside. So every now and then touch the PSU.

Then you put the motherboard in, then however you want to do it from there.

The case fans are really easy. You might want to look at how to plug in the front panel buttons, though. USB will be super easy. But do not plut the USB into the firewire port. It will kill your motherboard.

Personally, I do the motherboard first, then hard drive, DVD drive, plug in the front panel connectors to the motherboard, PSU (connections) then video card.

Doing the PSU first makes it harder to get the motherboard in with cables running around everywhere, unless it's modular.

That's how I'd do it to, but you're supposed to attach the wrist strap to an unpainted part of the case, and since the whole case is painted...

Ah, well we don't have static electricity in Florida, except for winters and it's still almost unnoticeable.

My advice would be to just do it in the kitchen or garage where there isn't any carpet, and take your socks off.

Since when is static electricity geographically based?

Correcting previous question: Since when is static electricity less prone to occur in a house in Florida as opposed to Illinois if both houses are air conditioned to the same degree, say 60 degrees?

So attach it to the middle screw of the wall outlet (its grounded).

Since it's been proven to not occur as often in humid conditions. Living 50 yards from the ocean the humidity is normally around 70-90%. It still happens, it's just very, very rare, unless it's winter where the humidity is around 50%.

Don't think the case has a firewire port anyway. thanks for the advice.
