I chose to install three 80mm case fans that I just had lying around. These fans will constantly be running and will connect directly to the power supply. When I move to a full case, I will be using case fans that will run off of the motherboard so I will be able to control them in the bios. Based on where the fans were going to be installed, I then chose which order to install them in.
I installed the front 80mm fan first. The fan will mount with four screws that are held to the computer case.

I will repeat this procedure for both of the rear fans.

Once I have made sure all the components are correctly installed and everything is correctly plugged in, I will make sure to organize all the internal wiring for safety reasons.

Now that the wiring has been organized, I will have to take the appropriate slots out of the front panel for the DVD and Floppy drives. These slots will usually just unclip. When I have completed this, I will reinstall the front panel onto the computer case.
Finally, I will reinstall both side panels.
The computer is now built. This means I am ready to move on to the next step, which is making sure the computer boots properly, then installing the operating system.
