Now when you hear crunch, it's coming from the flexing motherboard that's mounted on just 2 raised screw holes.

Pro tip: Assemble the cpu/heatsink/ram/nve on the table surface then put the whole thing in the case. No flexing :)

This has been my method for a while, but the last 2 PC's I've build have had fan/power connectors in places that I simply can't get my hand too once the board is installed, leading to me either pulling out case fans, or even CPU coolers, just to connect a 4 pin CPU power lead.

Double check your hand will fit in the thing first!
