Quoted By:
>>18991275 There is much haggling to be had in many first world countries. Because the person you are talking to in most cases has no control over the price of what you are buying, the prices are usually set at a corporate level so the best you can do is get a store manager to give you a discount, but to do that you need a damned good reason to deserve it.

Probably would be easier to install the heatstink with the motherboard mounted in the case already. The board wouldn't bend as much when it's screwed down.

Now here is where I came to regret a second decision I made. It is abundantly clear that all these wires are going to be a big hassle.
My first regret: Not getting an aftermarkter CPU HSF.
My second: Not getting a modular PSU.
