Mini ITX/SFF Build :)

^^ haha i feel dumb for not figuring that one out rite away

the build is done... ill take pics when i get a chance i think i did pretty good... first time i tried to start it up nothing work and i got sad haha... luckily i checked if my mobo had its power in and one of the connectors was loose so wahla power on and everything went ok

i installed windows 7 the problem is i keep getting USB NOT RECOGNIZED messages whenever im trying to plug in my wireless usb adapter/external HDD/mem card reader ANYTHING.... i thought for a second it might be that I mis-wired the usb connections to the mobo but it could also be the build of windows 7 cause i think other ppl online are having probs with it

so i was looking @ OEM software for my comp but idk if maybe i can fix it and get it running decent or ill have to shell out mulah for either vista or xp sp3 (dnt really want xp cause it looks so ancient haha) So HELP if you can thanks :)

things i noticed with my build...
~ once i got a initial windows 7 fully installed i put in sims 3 and played it rite away *gimmie a break i bought it the day it came out and never played except since the first time yesterday* boy the difference is night and day compared with my p4 3.0ghz 2gb ram 6600LE gpu LOUD mouth system haha (sony branded so nothing special but expensive price at the time of purchase). loading is pretty instant and the gpu is handling all of it nice and quick

~ i want more light in my case lol (i also want a window put in but i might have to ask around for prices ...not really handy with tools and stuff haha)

~ front intake thermaltake fan is noticeably loud... i think cause its connected straight to power it just goes full blast prolly want a control on that but idk if i can fit it in my case (HDD is in lower slot of 3.5 drive bay and other bay is stuffed with some cables

~ my dvd drive is pretty freakn quiet considering =P good pick guys

~ initially groaned at the thought of a standard psu but given the "modular" ish kinna styling to the cords of the BFG PSU (its not just that straight cord deal but its wrapped in some kind of material that makes it easier to deal with cable management wise)... wiring and cable tying to the case seem pretty chill

~ am enjoying one straight connection (HDMI) to my tv fully taking in sound + video hehe...

Ill think of more points later but these are what popped up after day 1.5 just finished after starting the bad boy up ... loving it so far just need to get my windows 7 fixed or off to groan at the thought of buying software only to buy again when 7 comes out hahah

thanks guys again!
 
Are you getting the USB not recognized with both the rear and front USB? Make sure you connect the PC to the internet and have it update itself. Might be a driver issue or something. Then again, the last time I saw a problem like that, a reformat solved the problem.

What case do you have? You mentioned something about a Coolermaster case but not sure if that went through.
 
Coolermaster Elite 340

Yeah I guess Ill have to hard wire it and get it updated I guess... I was trying to get it through the wireless adapter but that didn't work haha...

Yes, both front and rear usb inputs give me that same response so Ill try that later when i get a chance
