The PSU cables leading everywhere touch everything (mobo, video card ect) Do I need to rearrange them so that they wont get burnt????

Also I think I am ready to turn it on, what precautions should I make before turning the forbidden switch on???
Can anything get seriously damaged if I didnt plug it in right???

Also When I turn on the comp will it bring up BIOS and if so, what commands should I put in, or can I just plop in the WindowsXP cd in and it will autorun???? Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!!! :)
 
you don't have to be really concerned about wires touching other stuff - the insulation should handle high temperatures - but you should clean it to improve the airflow in your case.. as for the bios - just don't bother - try booting off your XP cd.. if it won't boot you'll have to enter the bios to change the booting sequence/ select optical drive as a booting device..
 
you should have virtually no problem with the wires getting too hot. some things you should make sure of before turning it on are that the cpu heatsink is seated correctly, and that you installed standoffs underneath the motherboard and nothing is shorting. and i doubt you plugged anything in wrong, becuase all the plugs only go in one way.
