I have the ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe. I believe it has 6 SATA ports and 1 SATA II port. I may just do that for my DVD drives.

So, looking at your sig (quite the machine you have there), would you recommend all SATA devices and no IDE?

Yeah, I am using the Raidmax Smilodon case. I now know it wasn't my best choice, but the appeal was the mobo tray laying out. Makes it real easy to work with. I will no doubt be putting a new PSU in tonight and I will make it a point to to get one with the longer cables and getting the cables...

Great, I tell you what, my CPU arrived today so I will finish building it and then I will take pictures and let you guys give me pointers. I am using the raidmax PSU that came with the case (mistake, I know but it will have to last for a couple of weeks...payday), I know that will be first...

sorry for the wrong board, wasn't sure.

I am in the process of my first build (still waiting on CPU shipment) and I am looking over a lot of boards and all the pics posted look like clean setups. My case looks like a zoo of Red Yellow and Black power cables. Whats the secret? How do you get it to look that clean?

Ok, thanks a lot for the replies. I knew people had done this before. I will have to figure some things out though. The fans on the case only have power connections and no controller type of connections. I may need to double check or replace the fans... Thanks again.

anybody?:confused:

Please forgive my ignorance but I have never built a PC before and I am in the process of my first one. I went with an ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe mobo with an Athlon X2 6000. I have 2gb of Kingston HyperX ram. I understand how to build a pc but my first question regards a Lian Li TR 3...
