Good luck, which you won't need. You'll be amazed at how easy it is. Most people think of computers as a magic box filled with pulleys and levers and wires and crazy stuff hooked up to the "magic tv".
It's really no more work than unscrewing a box, taking a side off, pushing two clamps to take out a video card, and then replacing it.
Yeah, I was exploring youtube last night, and there was a good documentary of how a computer is built, and what's inside. When the workers that are being filmed opened up a random computer, all it had inside was a big green panel (the mobo) with random parts, some "tapes", and a few wires, that's all. I was like "wow...it's that simple???" after the 7 minute video was over, and I think I have enough confidence to open up my computer now. I'm even thinking about giving it a test run, by opening it a week before I get my graphics card. =D
