That case is by NO MEANS SMALL!!
Im not installing everything, as I have no Artic Silver :( So basicly I gotta wait till after christmas to install everything and get it going..once the stores open back up. Right now Im playing battlefield lol
Psu trick? if you mean put those fans in my current computer then yes that is what i did...i dont even have the PSU in my other case because i am modding it and enclosing all of the wires.
Hey ok...I have to install my power LED connectors and my power button and all that...the power button thing has 3! pins...but the place to plug it in on the mobo only has 2 pins..does it matter which 2 i put in there?
NVM..I figured out that they go in sideways
along with my case came those regular wires attached to the front...ya know? Like power, powerled, speaker, all those. Well I have one that says HDD LED...but my manual doesnt say anything about a HDDLED so should I just not put it on?
if you look closely at your mobo, it should be label and it should be color coded too...at least thats how my last 2 mobo was
no...its all just black...but it tells me where everything goes in the manual..cept that HDD LED..oh well screw it..I just left it out lol. I will post a pic of what Ive done so far.

As you can see at the bottom right of the case thats where all my front LEDs are. I know it will look tight...thats where ALL of my wires are going...im putting the fan wires in that stuff...everything.
i see u installed the mobo b4 installing the cpu and hsf :frusty: :frusty: :lol: :lol: :lol: its okay, you'll still be able to do it, just a bit harder
HOLY SHIT...just saw a big problem I think...My PCI and AGP slots dont fit with the exspansion places in the case. For example if I pluged a PCI card into the slot..it wouldnt fit right on the outside....what do I do???
what do u mean it doesnt fit on the outside, are u sure you mount the board right?
almost posotive its right.. every hole in the mobo (sept the ones by the CPU socket) have a perfect fitting in the screw....
Like the PCI on the board and the PCI slots on the back of the case DONT LINE UP!
can u install a pci card and show us how it look like from the back of the comp?
haha..it fits fine..im SO FUCKING DUMB!
Ok everything is ok for now...just gotta get some artic silver to make this shit work.
lol did u even try reading the manual? lol
Are The Cards seated to high/low.When I installed my last M-board I used those hexed shaped platform spacer screws to atached my motherboard to case like previous M-board-ended up having to remove them because the cards sat to high.Quote:

Took me 2 hours instead of 1 to put together my system o well it runs great.
All I have to say is enjoy your new system.
yeah ive read the hole fucking manual...it just looked wrong but its not. Get the asus WITHOUT intergrated graphics...BOB is trying to talk jiag into getting intergrated graphics when he plays NFSU.
Oh they fit great,posted after later replies.
I'm slow Damn. :frusty:
huh? then y did you post that? but i though my pci didnt fit either when i first installed the board... the slot and the pci slot cover dont line up, the pci slot cover is slighty higher hten the pci slot itself.Quote:

No mine fit I think....I thought it wasnt lined up from left to right..
Is it dangerous to plug stuff into the computer while its already running? like a fan?
i would guess so? y u want to do that?
so, dude, are you going to get exchange the 9500 pro for the 9700 pro?
I think you should unless you need the money for a better monitor. In my personal opinion I think that the 9500 pro should be more than enough to satisfy your gaming needs.
If I were you I would save up as much money as possible for the best monitor you get. $200 should be able to get you a good 19 inch flat screen CRT.
What I ment by the time I got done typing and posting to this -Quote:

There were already 3 replies Lol,have to learn to type with more then 2 fingers and a thumb.
Might try typing with my toes,might be faster.
Hmmm..well I aint spending no fucking $200 right now. I dont have a job or anything....and I still got $350 after all my comp stuff...but I want to save that for now. However, I will exchange the 9500Pro for the 9700Pro cuz thats a big diff. Hey...If I send back the 9500Pro...and Get the 9700Pro...that will take about a week or so from today. Can I just use my 440MX untill I get my cards...or will the drivers like conflict and not work as well???
Everything will work, just check and see if your MMX 440 is AGP compliant. If so, you can just plug in into your mobo's AGP slot.Quote:

Also, make sure that Newegg actually has some 9700pro's left when you send it back. Be sure to call their customer support and make sure that they save you a 9700 pro...and get them to promise because it would be a pain in the ass if you wait all that time for nothing.
...I personally think you are a little bit nuts to be playing games on a 9700 pro with a 17 inch CRT that is not even flat...I think you should blow at least $200 on a nice flat screen CRT monitor to finish off your system.
no the 440mx is PCI...can I install the nvidia stuff for it then put the 9700Pro in and install all the drivers for that and they wont conflict or anything?
Also...is it pretty much a garantee that I will be able to return my 9500Pro if i dont even open it? Can I just have my 9700Pro ordered tonight with good concious that I can return the 9500Pro?
where'd you buy it from?
+ do you have a receipt?
I bought it from newegg...
No, you should uninstall the Nvidia drivers before installing any ATI hardware.Quote:

Download driver cleaner here, read the read me file, follow the instructions. After you run that, it should be safe to install the ATI drivers.
Oh, ok thanks that helps me alot!
Should I just order the 9700Pro now and when I get the 9500Pro ship it back?
Go online and Look at their methods of returns. See what your options are, return, exchange, RMA, etc etc, and read up.
Damn that 9700Pro has like 20GB/s bandwidth....thats like TWICE the 9500Pro...I'm getting that son of a bitch lol
There...I just ordered it :D 9700Pro comes over to ericcccs house
dude, you are going to be spun for a little while...after everything is up and running...Quote:

...I recommend that you run some benchmarks with all of the stock settings before you start overclocking anything...
...why don't run Aquamark3 and post us the results comparison link?
you're getting that to play bf1942???? ;) ;) :blink: :blink: :o :o :oQuote:

Yup, big dawg is in the big leagues now dude!
Homeboy went from a 566 MHz Celeron to the mean machine soon to be in his signature.
It's not up and running yet, though...
Yep as soon as I get my new system going I will be running 3DMark03, 3DMark01, and Aquamark3.
sooooooo bigdawg i take it its the first time you build your computer (or is the first one that is actually yours?)
anyways....gl and hf..... first is the best :D
lol ive built one before...but it was me and my friend and he knew alot more about it then me at the time..so he did most of the stuff...and i couldnt quite remember.also I have a feeling that I will have to take my mobo back out and shit and ive already wired the leds and stuff..and it took a while cuz i have custom wiring job kinda things on them lol...oh well...the more time it takes the more funnn :D
Im gona turn my computer off so i can hook up all the fans again...there so pretty
I put 3 of them right up against my harddrive...and it went up 1 degree..i dont think my sensors are right lol. This is all in my old case of course.
uh oh i put one of the fans a little higher...and it droped 2 degress to 33 lol
hmmm it went from 35 to 29 :D this is just a TEMPORARY setup..lol but it is kinda fun
