    I still haven't gotten anything back from Abit, are you sure I was supposed to reply to the e-mail they sent me? Could I go ahead and fill out another RMA, or will they yell at me for doing 2?

    Well the serial number I found said it was an invalid serial number, so I had to check off "missing serial number". I can't fill out the RMA again I don't think? Also not from NYC, from central new york state here :P

    also I looked up this older motheboard, it appears it doesn't support my processor because it's a "barton" and not a "throughbred" SO HOPEFULLY when I get a new motherboard back from ABIT if I DO, my old CPU and hopefully RAM and everything else works. If it's just the mobo that friend no...

    I set the DVD-RW/CD-RW to boot up first and I selected the XP partition and set it to repair. It's apparantly repairing now in windows setup with 37 minutes left which sucks because I really have to go to the dentist soon. I also replied to the e-mail with "yes I accept and confirm" and still...

    well I hooked in a new mobo. Seems my CPU and HDD are dead. MAYBE NOT but when I hook the Athlon XP 2800+ CPU in the older motherboard which, it incorrectly reports the meghertz and says unknown CPU. This means I think either the CPU is dead or the CPU MAY BE if I'm lucky too new for the...

    welp. Hooked MOBO back up with spacers this time. Unplugged everything from motherboard except the 2 power connectors from PSU, CPU, and power switch wire. Plug it in, and the red light turns on on my mobo to show it's receiving power. Press power button, and nothing happens...

    I do have an old motherboard I used before this one, with regular non DDR sdram and a duron 1.2 ghz CPU. Most definetly not enough to run any of my high demanding games or anything before I can get a new motherboard.

    Yep, looks like I used no spacers. shit. I was so excited to get this case, get it working, I forgot the spacers. I didn't even think about installing them because my old case already had spacers in it and I didn't have to install them, so I forgot to install it with this new case...

    I got that pic off of google, my fans have no MOBO connector only molex, just using it for an example. So I can hook another fan up to the female for I don't have to reach another PSU wire far? Also someone else on another forum mentioned to me about using spacers with the motherboard. I...

    the only "damage" I can find is I took my copper heatsink off my CPU, and on the cpu (not the di) there is a liquid/gel that has the texture of liquid glue when it's almost dry. No I'm not talking about the thermal paste you put to make heat go through, there is a clear "glue" or something on...

    anyway, browsing the net I think I found the female molex is for hooking to my MOtherboard on a connector and male is to go to the PSU. but I never hooked any molexes to my motherboard, just the PSU.
