Starting up new build
Should I leave out the graphics card and wireless card when starting up my new build? I have done this before but its been a while. Do I start-up and just install the Windows XP Home Edition CD? Any help on the procedure would help if I have to go into BIOS first.

I'm guessing this is your first time booting up. Ideally, you can start up with all your components but it's good practice to start with the minimal possible specs on your first boot. I suggest booting up with the components that are necessary (graphics, optical drive, hard drive, etc.), then add on as needed. Once you are booted up, enter the BIOS and configure your optical drive to be the first booting device. Insert your OS disk, then save and reboot.
