OEM protector, has 2 jobs. not only creating the proper space for the ports but it stops radiation from your PC from emitting. Neat little fact. nice series

Great videos! Planning on building my first computer soon.
Going to watch these videos while building, though it would be easier if they weren't in 60 separate parts. ;)

Good video, though would it not be easier to put the cpu and heatsink on the motherboard then mount to the case? Anyway, at the moment, I am designing my pc, looking for what parts to buy but I decided to go with the AMD than intel as intel, way expensive.

I just bought this mobo but i got the more expensive phenom six core. Is this board really good for editing video?

[TheCoFreshShow]

do you recommend building a pc instead of buying a mac and can you run mac os on a custom pc?

Is the motherboard touching directly the case without an anti-conductive material?
