help! i'm building a new computer for the first time ever, will be getting my HD, mobo, and RAM tomorrow.
I already have everything else. The complete lack of cables and screws in the stuff I have received already is alarming....my case didn't come with any screws at all...of course it is a black screwless evercase but i think i need some screws..

i'm going to compusa tomorrow to buy my hd so i need advice as to what other stuff i should buy, i.e. ide cables and screws and other?
my setup is 80gb hd/256mb ram/1600+ XP/epox 8k5a2+/liteon 40x/12x/48x/ /heirochi 350 w psu/8500 le 64 mb

thanks
 
Retail mobo's ussually include 2 IDE and a floppy cable.

CompUSA had a dyno-mite deal on the 80 gig 8mb buffer western digi HD last week, $89 after instant and mail in rebates (i bought two). I mailed my stuff already, so i don't have the expiration date on hand... ask em when your there...

You will probably need screws for at least the motherboard mounting... some cases (one i have in fact) use absolutely no other screws... not sure on the one you have, but it should have at least SOME.
