    Post First orderand delivery from Scan and DPD. Grade A.

    Got the parts towards my first build from Scan. Very happy with the service and the complimentary text that I got from DPD giving me a good idea when I items come. Much better today. Yesterday was waiting in all day for Amazon Logistics and Yodel. Wish more gave that service.

    All that is left is the GPU, a fixing kit, HDMI cable and some screws as it seems the Corsair 450D does not come with many of these fittings.

    Curious question would you suggest investing in an Anti-Static Mat. I was just going to use the unpainted side of my old HP panel door to attach my Anti-Static wristband to and touch it often to ground myself.

    First build so don't wanna fry anything by accident. Advice would be much appreciated from anyone

    This is the scan section as opposed to the full HEXUS forums. If you would like advice from enthusiasts I would post in the hardware section.

    Cases should come with loads of screws. Check your manual to see if you have all the screws you should have. Failing that interweb reviews usually show all contents when they arrive.

    Never heard of an antistatic mat. Wrist bands are more common. I don't bother using one anymore. I plug my PSU in, off at the wall. Make sure I do not have a woolly jumper on and periodically touch the PSU. Moving across a carpet I discharge myself before touching anything.
