Congratulations on taking your first step toward assembling your very own computer, which I'm sure won't
only be a very rewarding experience, but an enlightening one as well. You will find that building your own
computer is more cost-effective than buying a prebuilt computer with the EXACT same parts
one of the many compelling reasons for assembling your own computer.

• Always handle the parts in a well lit, dust-free, static free environment
• Make sure you always ground yourself before handling any computer components, if not, you run the
  The risk of short-circuiting them.
• If using metal tools, like screwdrivers for instance, be very careful not to make any metal on metal
  contact with any of the components lest you risk damaging the hardware.
• Handle the components with care, failure to do so could result in damage.
