Well bum.
Nothing ever goes quite as expected the first time. If I were building this PC again, which I will be tomorrow, I'd start by attaching the heat sink hold down fixture to the board and then bolt that in to the box. Next would be the wiring, then the memory, then the video card, then the radiator and second fan and finally the heatsink.
But that's not what I did.
So tonight everything is in except the heat sink and it's radiator and fans. That's because the rear support part of the heat sink retention system is too big to fit after the motherboard has been screwed in to the chassis.
Nuts.
