Upgrading woes

Underscore

I intend to upgrade my PIII-500 soon, and I have the parts lined up, but does anyone know of any sites that give a comprehensive guide to actually getting them into my case? I am going to be replacing the PSU, motherboard and processor.

Sorry for taking so long to reply here, but I've been working on the computer for the last couple of days. I still am. I'm typing this on someone else's computer. I've got everything in but the problem is the power wires. It's a two-year-old Gateway ATX tower case, the new motherboard is an ABIT KT7A V1.3 and the power supply is a Macron MPT-301 300W. The wires from the front of the case (the two LEDs and the power on switch) don't connect properly to the motherboard. The wires for each of those all end in the one socket, and it's the wrong size to connect to the motherboard. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do here?

if it's all one block, you're gonna have to cut it up into the different sections to make it work

How do I do that? In the event that that requires more technical expertise than I actually have, who can do that for me?

I'd do it for you, but I don't think there would be too much money in it for such a small job Use a sharp knife to cut the block up, or remove the appropriate wires from it (along with their push on connectors) and connect them to the pins on the motherboard.
