Hoping to install cards in my Mac Pro

Do you have guides for installing Cards? I have several interests: 1) Raid, I'm told it's tricky to put them in. 2) Airport & Bluetooth, seem to require special screws. Do you know their specs? i.e. English / metric, dia. thread count?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Here the guide for installing PCI cards: PCI Express Cards (Early 2008)

Here's how to install the video card: Mac Pro First Generation GPU Replacement

On my 2008 both the airport and bluetooth use Phillips screws. I have seen some that use torx.

It would help to know your exact machine. Please give us the last four figures of your serial number. Raid cards can now be had on eBay for very reasonable prices, originally Apple charged $700. Be aware that the new batteries for these will run about $90.
