    I re-used two Lian Li's from my 2 year old AMD systems. I now run a GIGABYTE P35C-DS3R (Intel). I don't have any LEDs. How do I enable them? My PCs look too sinister without lights.

    Moving folder takes forever -- XP pro

    I did a test on my machine. I moved 5GB up one folder. It took about 30 seconds. A progress bar appears. Then I moved it back. It took about 8 seconds. That's almost instantaneous. With the wife's computer, I don't think a progress appears and the transfer takes forever.

    Moving folder takes forever -- XP pro

    Ok, so moving from folders from within a drive is slow compared to moving a folder to another drive. Got that. I transfered 3GB from my machine and it's instantaneous, while the wife's machine, like I said, took 10 minutes!??

    Why is Lian Li cases so expensive?

    . . I liked the quality cases of Antec and the other OEMs but they were so damn heavy. I tried using cheapy cases but the quality is so terrible that they couldn't even handle the trauma of shipping. I went Lian Li because the PC-A16 had 6 expansion slots (I needed 5). Nice case.
