PSU (re)placement, is it hard?

[MVasigh]

Just wondering, is it really even difficult to pop in a PSU? Getting ready for my first build, and I'm buying a case with no PSU, and a seperate PSU.

easy as pie

I haven't looked anything up, but I'm guessing you just screw it into where it should be (rear end, top) and that's it?

That's apart from actually connecting it to everything, of course.

Really easy, just 4 screws to attach it to the case (plus the drive and motherboard cables of course).

If the PSU holes aren't lining up with the case holes, you probably just have PSU upside-down.

you just have to make sure you plug everything back in correctly, and you want to tidy everything up a bit for better airflow.

Great, thanks alot. Any tips for grounding? I don't usually ground myself for anything... >_<

Plug the psu into the wall, and when you touch it you'll be grounded.

Just touch the metal case. PSUs are only a shock hazard if you open them up to mod them.

Super easy. 🙂

you need to cuff your right hand to a flowing water pie to ground yourself.

It is so simple a caveman could do it. 😉
