No offense Merc, but just the other day you were on here asking advice about installing and setting up a HDD on your existing computer. Maybe you're not ready to be building your own just yet.

Don't know what parts to get and you honestly think you can put one together from scratch? Hehe... Good luck. You're going to need it.

Let us know what your RMA numbers are on all the parts you have to return to the manufacturers. Then let us know if they find out you burned it out yourself and deny your warranty claim. I'd be interested to hear about that for all the other folks who might make the same mistake in the future.
