Alright, every component has received adequate attention and is now ready to be assembled. I figure I may as well introduce them all so you have an idea of what's exactly being put together here:

Well, now that all the components are accounted for, they need a proper home. Let's take a look at mounting the power supply in the case. So, empty case first...
Introduce power supply...
Now marry them. This particular case calls for mounting the power supply in the bottom of the unit. Many cases have top-mounted power supplies but I prefer the stability of having the weight at the bottom...
Next I'll take a look at the motherboard, mount the processor, RAM and finally install it in the case...
