Switching parts

[Txe]

When i switched my case from the silverstone rl06 to the Fractal Design Define r6 I started around 7:50 and ended around 9:50 and i was suprised it worked well not on the first try it kept on turning off after passing the asus logo in the bios but after a little bit it worked and this was only the second time i actually handled a computer the first time was like 3 months ago when i switched a motherboard an a power supply on my pc and that took me from 2:00pm to like 7 or 8pm 

but i had a little help from my dad because IO shield most annoying thing in the world and something broke off so superglue but i digress the one tip my dad gave me was take your time and work with one thing at a time and i shortened the time by like 75% i am curios has anyone given you a tip in building or anything in fact to shorten the time it took by a huge amount

Make a plan ahead of time

Be organized

Stay logical

Execute

 

Example: I need to switch this X into that Y.

I know that I need to put this X into that Y.

I'd start with looking at both systems and seeing what would be necessary to remove, and what would help the process if removed.

When I start taking stuff out, keep parts neat and organized. ESD sensitive parts go on antistatic bags or mats. Screws and other small devices go into a tray or organizer.

Everything I need to complete the swap I already have. Be it cable ties, screwdrivers, cables, other tools and accessories, I know where they are and where they need to go.

Of course, practice makes perfect, so get to know your pc by taking it apart and putting it back again!
