Motherboard installation raises some concerns, because it is possible to short circuit the motherboard if we allow the connections of the motherboard to touch the sides of the case. The case we purchased provides stanchions to lift the mother board slightly off the sides of the case. However, it is necessary to install stanchions only where holes are provided on the motherboard. So, to do this we made a quick trace of the connection holes on the motherboard, and then installed the stanchions using the map we created.
This made us feel confident that we were installing the motherboard correctly and we would have no electrical problems down the road...
Then, before class ended, we put the graphics card back on to the motherboard and secured it to the case.
Now we are ready to attach power to all parts. We are nearly done with the building part of the build!
Ports are ready to go!!
