I plan to change my PC casing soon. Is there any advice before I start changing?

What should I do first? Remove all IDE and SATA components, then remove PSU, what is next?

How do I remove the motherboard from the casing, and to reattach them on new casing, any advice on a proper way to do it?

What about front panel connectors, I have read the manual on the motherboard on where the wires should go, but then for LED wire, usually there are two, how do I know which is positive, which is negative, and which pin on the mobo is LED positive and negative.

Thanks

Just some cheabo casing, im currently using a cheap ATX casing from my P3. Now planning to get somethign more decent with front USB and audio, since I put it on the floor and the port at the back is extreme hard to access.

I think the hardest part for me is to fix the front panel connector, USB, Audio, mic, hdd status, power status, on switch, reset switch

For example, the front audio panel will have two pins, left and right, how do I know which is for which?

Certainly the manual did tell which pin is left channel, which pin is right channel, but how do I know which cable from the front panel is left and right channel?

Thanks

What does outside means? Left, right? Up down?

thanks

I don't really get you but anyway thanks for your help, I appreacite it. Wait till I get my casing then.

Let's not talk about the front panel first.

The process of removing the motherboard, how do I start? Remove those studs that is between the board and the casing?

Sorry, this might sound noobish but I haven't try it before

Thanks all of you, I managed to do it , everything is working perfectly !

Took me 3 hours, well, first time, what do you expect

Thanks again to everyone who guided me.
