First Build Computer - Need Checklists and Other Tracking ..

I'm laying the ground work to begin building a computer for the first time.
Does anyone have any sort of checklists or other documents used to help
manage this project.

Check lists such as components needed, progress etc. would be extremely
helpful. I welcome home made, templates, pre existing, etc.

Many thanks in advance, Rob.

If you type "how to build a computer" in Google you will get more help
than you probably need.

Example: http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/index.htm

Just go to www.mwave.com or www.newegg.com. Browse by category/catelog.
For each category, pick something. Where you are most likely to screw up is
in cables. For example, your disk drives might need an optional power cable
or optional interface cable. Your sound card might need an optional audio
cable. Don't forget an Operating System, such as Windows XP Pro. Also
don't forget a HSF for the CPU and a decent power supply (not all cases
include one, and that is actually a GOOD thing). Other than that, if you go
right down the list of all the types of components one of the major vendors
carry, you should end up with a complete system. It might take a little
reading on other sites to figure out what works with what. Or just throw
the list together and post it here in this ng. We'll let you know if you
royally screwed it up. -Dave
