Personal experiences in what not to do:
1. If you remove your BIOS chip (I don't know why I did, but I did) be sure to put it back EXACTLY the way you took it out. Putting it in backwards makes things very hot and smell very bad!
2. When trying to test parts and assembling a PC without a case DO NOT put the motherboard on anything that will conduit electricity (stupid aluminum countertops ) unless you have the lights out and a motherboard you don't want anymore. /looks at pretty colors.
But that was when I started in computers. I is much smartter now.
