I'm thinking about my schedule and when I'll be free to work on stuff this week...

Would it be a bad idea to start building this computer now, without the power supply? And then throw the power supply in when it arrives?

I think it would be fine but I don't want to put everything in and then find out other stuff's in the way...

@monorail It might be more difficult to get wires in place, depending on the layout of your motherboard and where things go in the case. I would probably put the power supply in first.

@Rosemary yeah that makes sense

i probably won't be super short on time tomorrow, it shouldn't be an issue
