My SOD02 drive came with the cable (looks exactly like the CP10).

Also, the Silverstone optical drive is a re-branded LG. Part # GA31N. About $30 cheaper, but you'll have to buy a mini sata cable.

Disclaimer: I haven't started my build yet, so this might be BS (but I do have a nice pile of parts). 1.This case seems to be designed with a AIO liquid cooler in mind. I'd go with the new H60 rather than the H55 - $8 cheaper on NE, and the quieter fan of the H55 is irrelevant since it won't...

Take a look at this case instead. Exactly the same a the Q-Pack but comes with a decent 300W PS. Dennis

AMD shows a dual-core 265 at 1.8GHz here . There's also a 256 single core at 3.0 GHz (and a 856) here . Sorry, I don't see any 3.0 GHz dual-core goodness (I messed myself for nothing). Dennis

If you can't even get video or into BIOS, you need to go back to completely stock settings and start over. Clear your CMOS and everything should go back to default values. Unplug from power (physically remove cord) Push power button to discharge MB Remove battery, wait 30 sec Replace...

248 should be a walk in the park for this board. Try: Manually set HTT to 4x (I don't trust auto) Up NB voltage to 1.4, SB to 2.0 Memory at loosest timings and 6/5 ratio Disable Cool n Quiet See if that helps to start. Dennis

Aero Cool showed a nice case built on the Q-pack chassis at CeBIT . Dennis

For your PS I'd consider this instead: about the same price, but with more wattage and modular. I put one of these in my 3.5" bay. Dennis

Call me crazy after you check pages 106-116 of the manual . Whole bunch of options in BIOS. Have to wait for a retail board to be sure, but this just might be THE mATX board (If you can live with the sound and crappy SB, that is). Dennis
