Which do you install first when assembling a system the drives or the motherboard?

I usually put in the motherboard first. After the motherboard you put in the CPU & then the CPU cooler which is rather difficult to install if there are other components (like hard drives) on the way. By putting in the motherboard first everything else is much easier.
