First, unpack your case and mother board. Now, looking at the rear of the case remove the screws from the right side attaching the panel. Slide the panel towards the rear, you may have to raise the back of the panel slightly. Some cases are a little different but they are pretty easy to figure out.  Usually it is just as simple as sliding the side panel off.  Inside the case there should be a small bag of goodies (screws, stand offs, ect). Install the stand-off’s onto the inside of the case using your Motherboard as a guide (you want to line the screw holes of the motherboard with the stand-off's so that you can screw the motherboard onto them). Carefully set the mother board into the case tilting the rear downward to fit into the back of the case. Now check to ensure the stand off’s are installed correctly and that none of the metal on the bottom of the board is touching the case. Once you have ensure that you have a good fit inert the screws securing the Motherboard to the case through the stand-off’s. 

Now you will install the power supply if your case did not come with one already.  On the back of the power supply there will be four screw holes.  Put the power supply inside the case in the spot on the case with the big square hole.  Install the four screws in the holes... Now you have a case with a power supply and a motherboard.

Be careful not to catch the wires that are hanging off of the power supply on anything. We show you where to attach those wires in the coming steps.  Please hit your back button and proceed to the next step.
