finally got my shit up and running. I originally got all this shit over 2 weeks ago but the motherboard was DOA and I had to RMA it. Got it all running again a few days ago.

The case is the same as yours Aaron. Cept it's black and has a 120mm fan spot on the back instead of 2 80's. Did your USB headers for the front USB ports have 1 plug that has 4 pins and on that has 5 pins? They wouldn't work at first so I did some reading and other people with the same case and a similar motherboard to mine have had to disconnect the extra pin on the 5-pin plug. I just disconnected that whole plug and am just using one of the front ports right now. I think I'd rather die than open this case again. (troubleshooting the old dead motherboard wasn't too fun). Good case all in all I think. The fans it came with don't really do much though and I replaced the PSU, so I'm not sure about that.

Also, I'll add that the new Microsoft Intellimouse's fucking suck. The new scroll wheels on them don't have "bumps".. I guess you'd call it. They just roll smooth, Which makes it impossible for games. If you move the wheel as little as humanly possible you'll scroll through like 5 of your weapons in a FPS. Also, they updated their Intellipoint software from version 4.x to version 5.0. In doing that, they decided to remove the Alt+Tab function you could bind one of the mouse keys to, as well as the ability to bind the extra mouse buttons to keyboard keys. (which was great for games). Say goodbye to the custom profiles you could make for different programs also. I used to just customize the settings so whenever I opened all my games, the keys would automatically bind to keyboard keys. Then I'd set up the games so those keyboard keys would bind to game functions.

Here's the other bullshit I bought....

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle core (stock HSF, I took that thermal pad crap off and put some arctic silver on though)
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nForce3 250GB Chipset, Socket 754)
2x512MB Mushkin DDR PC-3500 Level One DIMMs (underclocked to the DDR400 the motherboard defaults to at the moment)
Antec TruePower 480Watt Power Supply
Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA
Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Sound Card
BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC
Logitech Z-5300 5.1 Speakers
OEM Floppy
Logitech Elite Keyboard
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer
APC 725va UPS

oh yeah I chucked my old Plextor 8x DVD+/-RW in there.
