Hey, I just bought a new case and I am wondering about any tips that you guys might have to offer. So if you could provide some tips/tricks/warnings/precautions, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
route your wires as neatly as possible the first time around, it not only looks good but makes for excellent airflow as well
 
I was planning on doing that, the main reason why I got a new case actually. Old one would only let me take one side panel off so I couldn't re-route the wires. I forgot to mention, I also got a new fan/heatsink combo (Cooler Master Aero 7+ with copper heatsink, fan looks like a jet engine), and I want to instal it, but I do not know how to take the old heatsink/fan off my cpu. The cooler master one came with the glue to put it on though.
 
I'm sure there are many nice, illustrated tutorials for removing/adding a heatsink if you google it.

Oh and that's not glue, it's thermal grease .:D
