My brand spankin new PC works! I thought that after all the mistakes I made (handling the processor while statically charged, being a little rough with the motherboard, trying to mount the motherboard with oversized screws that went in wrong and took out the whole mounting screw when I took them out, etc.), that it wouldn't turn on. And it isn't even all that loud even with all 7 fans on, and it moves more air than the regular rotating fan I use to keep cool at night.
