ABS Ultimate V2 36... worth buying?

[S!X]

Ok, lets say I'm buying parts to build a PC. I picked the mobo you picked. How will I get a DVD burner? The mobo doesn't have any IDE, and all the burners I see are IDE.

Thats what I was wondering myself, If you look in my "A few questions" thread someone said it does But I didnt think it did

WTF?

I wasnt sure so I asked on here and VB says its good to go and I trust em.

The specifications listed for the mobo include:

PATA 2 x ATA 133 up to 4 Devices

That's Parallel ATA and is IDE. See: definition

Many terms and synonyms for ATA exist, including abbreviations such as IDE, ATAPI, and UDMA.

You can also see the IDE connectors in the picture:



The 2 blue connectors at the botton edge.

Oh, so those things are called faceplates, they can be removed, and that mobo comes with a custom faceplate. Correct?

I was thinking "How the hell will that fit?" See its things like this that confused me. :S

"Faceplate"= I/O panel
I/O= in/out....cause that is where your input/output connectors go....TA-DA!

See?
This is pretty simple.

Is there a reason you are fixated on that Fatality board?
You are paying a hefty premium for some LED lighting and semi-ineffective cooling whizmos.

See the thing is, I don't know much about mobo's, and the Fatality board has two fans on it, so it must be good.

@VB
Thanks for clearing that up.

Sorry I wasn't trying to scare you.

But if you do think about it, there are a million things that can go wrong. The slightest of mistakes can ruin everything. Then you have to go back, find what you did wrong, or whats defective, then send that part back, or fix it. Then there is the computer builders worst nightmare, the blue screen of death.

I just don't know man. I guess I have to find a really good one at a store...

I dunno what to tell you I hope any problems I may encounter are very minor and easy to fix

I've never had a prob when putting stuff together*, always works for me(so far, knock on wood n' all that). Just do it in a calm fashion, and if you do run into any trouble, don't panic.

That's assuming you've made sure the parts you've selected are good and will fit together at least on paper, of course.

It doesn't hurt to google the model names of components either. that has saved me from making a couple of bad decisions when I was buying stuff.



*I've done my fair share of sorting out stuff that didn't work as well, but that's usually more than a year later. It's jolly fun sorting out someone's computer 'cos their PSU has been fried, or 'cos some caps on his mobo has blown, btw.

I hope I have your luck Snny
