hey cloudy...
is it your first time installing a motherboard into a case?? because all the cases have more or less the same installation procedure when it comes with a motherboard. if it is your first time, i do suggest getting help from a professional first. i tried doing it the first time... and fried the motherboard 3 times (and had it replaced too!! ) before i could get it working. when it comes to soundcard there are two things, built-in and pci sound card (which is it?) if you have a built in sound card, you have to enable it in your pc bios system. if you have a pci sound card, then you have to insert it in a pci slot (the white one). when it comes to connectors and installing the motherboard in the case, it would be too long for me to explain properly... i really suggest letting you go with a expert on that.

you have to worry on...
1. putting the screws on the right position
2. careful being grounded
3. dont dare open the powersupply (unless you know what you are doing)
4. careful not to let your hardware get static and not be able to run it
5. do not invert the connection in the powersupply and mother board
6. careful in putting the processor and the heat sink right.
7. and alot of minor stuff that are too many to say...
