Thanks for all the help guys. I emailed Lian-Li and got a reply within 12 hours. They are going to send me the screws for free. The only drawback is that they are coming from Tiawan so it will be 7-10 days. But at least I know I am getting the right ones.
So i am making my first build and ended up having to RMA the motherboard. They make a big deal about returning ALL items that came with the board so I mistakenly sent back my hex standoff screws. They of course didnt come back with the new mobo so now i need to find some screws (if it matters...
I'm putting together my first build and am connecting my DVD Burner (LITE-ON Black 20X DVD±R Burner) which has outputs for analog and digital audio. I'd obviously prefer to connect it to the motherboard (ASUS P5W DH Deluxe) via a digital cable but I only see one input spot on the...
Thanks for all the advice guys, I'm going to RMA it today. I bought it from Newegg, supposedly brand new. Looks like my first build will just have to wait a bit longer.
So I bought the Asus P5W DH Deluxe but when I opened the box and took a look at the board one of the pieces was loose. It was the gold box with ASUS written on it that is meant to cover the Intel ICH7R. I also found 2 white plastic pins (but only 1 spring) that can be used to secure the loose...
So it sounds like I should wait till Thurs/Fri to order from Buffalo/Newegg. I guess my build will have to wait one more week but i'm sure it will be worth it. Thanks guys
So I was holding out for the Buffalo FireStix at newegg for $190 but they are not expected to be back in stock till Friday. I ordered the rest of my build over the weekend and will have all my other components by then. So now I'm looking to get some other DDR2-800 RAM fo go with my system...
Sorry to bump so soon but i'm looking to make the purchase this weekend to go with the rest of my build. If I cant find the MX3100, do you think I should go with the MX3000 ($63) or the MX5000 ($110)?
Everywhere i've looked online it is out of stock. I know that the MX5000 and others are similar but I want to get the MX3100 Keyboard/Mouse combo, does anyone know where I can find it?
I bought it all yesterday and it should arrive next week. The only piece I didnt order yet is the memory, the FireStix are OOS and should be in on Monday so i'll grab those then (hopefully they will still be sending D9s).
Thanks for all the advice (in this thread and my other earlier...
I'm going to go with the Home Premium version of Vista. Would it be worth it for me to go with the OEM version? Its a lot cheaper but I'm not sure what is left out and I feel like I might need everything that comes with the retail version. What do you guys think, which should I get?
No thoughts on these two PSUs? I want to make sure they will be adequate for my system.
And as for the rest of my components, they will all work together? Since its my first build, I'm concerned about making sure they will all connect properly, work together, etc. I'd appreciate confirmation...
I looked at some reviews and am thinking of going with a SeaSonic PSU. I am considering the following 2 power supplies and I'd like to get some opinions on them:
SeaSonic S12-500 ATX12V 500W
SeaSonic S12 Energy Plus SS-550HT
Hopefully these two will work with the system that I am...
