7.Install Graphics Card
Most modern graphics cards are AGP based and connects to the AGP bus of the motherboard. An AGP bus (slot) looks like the following image. The brown slot is where you connect your AGP graphics card.
Place your AGP card on top of the slot and gently push it down. The card should firmly sit into position.
All you need to do now is to screw the metal plate on the front of the card to the ATX case. Use the screws supplied with case and screw the card to the case.
8.Install Sound Card
Most modern sound cards are designed with the PCI interface and connects to the PCI slot of your motherboard. A PCI slot looks like the slots on the following image.
Place your sound card on top of a chosen slot. Gently push down the card so it sits into position. Once the card is seated correctly into position, screw the card on to the case.
Finally insert the audio cable into the CD-IN socket. The other end of the cable should be connected to Audio-out socket on your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
9.Install Modem
Find a free PCI slot on your motherboard (assuming your modem is a PCI modem). Place your modem card on top of the slot and gently push it down into position.
Once the card has seated correctly into position, screw the card to the case using the screws supplied with the case.
10.Install TV Card
Installing a TV card is no more difficult than installing any other PCI cards. Locate an unused PCI slot and place the card on top. Gently push card down into the slot.
When the card is correctly in position, screw the card securely on to the case.
Note that a TV card uses two IRQ (Interrupt Request) one for video and one for audio. It is best to place your TV card into a slot which does not conflict with an IRQ of another device. Although IRQ sharing is possible, some TV cards may behave abnormally if you are sharing IRQ's.
