  1. QUICK START GUIDE
  2. Step 1: Reinstalling the GPU!
  3. -Remove the side panel with the clear acrylic inset by unscrewing the two thumbscrews on the right side of the case rear
  4.  
  5. -Remove the protective foam inset
  6.  
  7. -At the back of the case, note the cutout for PCIE expansion cards. This is a squareish cutout with a number of removable metal slats over it. Two of these slats have already been removed. Somewhere in everything I sent you (possibly inside the PC tower itself) is a ziplock bag with two small screws. Get these screws and an appropriate screwdriver
  8.  
  9. -Look at the top PCIE slot on the motherboard. It lines up with the topmost of the two removed metal slats. There is a clip on the right side of the slot. Ensure that it is pushed down.
  10.  
  11. -Remove the RX480 GPU from its box.
  12.  
  13. -Line up the GPU's long connector with the PCIE slot, and the rear of the card (where the ports for the monitor are located) with the space created by the removed slats. Insert gently to ensure everything is lined up, then firmly push it into place until the PCIE's clip clicks into place.
  14.  
  15. -Use the two screws from the case to fasten the card into place. Screw holes are located on the leftmost part of the card where the protective IO shield is.
  16.  
  17. -Locate the card's power outlet. It is on the right side of the card and marked with green painter's tape. Remove the tape.
  18.  
  19. -Locate the card's power cord. It is stuffed into the space to the right of the card at the front of the case (behind a metal shroud). It is marked with green painter's tape. Remove the tape and firmly plug the connector in until the clip clicks into place. It will only plug in one way.
  20.  
  21. -Ensure none of the internal wiring has ended up inside any of the fans during shipping. That would be bad. If it has, push it out of the way.
  22.  
  23. -Replace the side panel and the thumb screws
  24.  
  25. Step 2: Monitor
  26. -A monitor has been included. It is a poo 1600x900 60hz monitor but hey it's a monitor.
  27.  
  28. -If you have your own monitor you might wanna use that.
  29.  
  30. -Plug the monitor into power and into the back of the computer. Make sure to plug it into the GPU, not into the motherboard.
  31.  
  32. Step 3: Peripherals
  33. - Attach your mouse and keyboard (two have been included) into the appropriate spots on the back of the motherboard. I'm fairly certain some of the ports are shot so you might have to try a couple different combinations. One of the rows has nothing but two USB 2.0 ports, which are the two ports I have been using.
  34.  
  35. -Attach your microphone using the port on the motherboard. The one on the front of the case is shot.
  36.  
  37. -Attach your headphones using the speaker jack (NOT the headphone jack) on the back of the motherboard. The headphone jack on the motherboard is shot.
  38.  
  39. -Alternatively, do whatever works for you.
  40.  
  41. Step 4: Front IO
  42. -There is a cord with a USB plug protruding through a rubber port at the back of the case. If you want, plug it into one of the USB3.0 ports at the back of the case. This will enable the front leftmost USB port as a USB 3.0 port. If you don't do it, that port won't work.
  43.  
  44. Step 5: Power
  45. -There is a power cord included tied with green painter's tape. Remove the painter's tape.
  46.  
  47. -Insert the female side into the male port on the back of the case, into the PC's power supply
  48.  
  49. -Insert the male plug into a wall outlet, or preferably into a surge protector attached to a wall outlet
  50.  
  51. -On the back of the computer near the power outlet is a power switch. Flip it to the 'on' position.
  52.  
  53. -Look through the case's acrylic window. You should see a green light on the motherboard. This indicates that the motherboard has power.
  54.  
  55. Step 5: T minus 0
  56. -Push the power button on the front of the computer
  57.  
  58. -The monitor may warn you that there is a CPU fan error. Check through the acrylic window to make sure the fan is spinning. I don't know why this keeps happening but it is always a false alarm. If this happens, hit the reset button on the front of your computer.
  59.  
  60. -The computer should start up!
  61.  
  62.  
  63. ADDITIONAL NOTES
  64. -The power supply fan often doesn't spin. I believe this is because it has a 'silent mode' where it doesn't spin the fan until it reaches a certain internal temperature.
  65.  
  66. -The bottom rear fan sometimes doesn't spin. I don't know why this happens but it shouldn't be a huge problem.
  67.  
  68. -Your PC has two drives, a solid state drive and a hard drive. Install almost everything and store almost everything on the hard drive, NOT the SSD. the SSD is small and will slow down if you fill it up too much. On the other hand it is very fast, so the OS is installed on it. You may also want to install one or two games on it, as they will load really fast. Like, SO fast.
  69.  
  70. -A number of additional doodads and parts were also shipped to you, including a spare CPU, two spare sticks of RAM, and a spare GPU. These are all older parts but perfectly functional. If your CPU, RAM, or GPU die suddenly, you have replacements.
  71.  
  72. -I forgot to overclock your RAM which means it isn't running as fast as it is rated to. Probably not a huge deal to be honest.
  73.  
  74. -The graphics card, HDD, SSD, and potentially power supply can be used on a future build if you want to upgrade piece by piece.
