Hello
Well after several hours of assembly, I have my system running now. I thought at first my PSU was DOA when I first tried to start the system. I turned on the black switch on the PSU and wondered why nothing happened. It turns out, I needed to press the power on button in the front of the case. .
Well everything is running now, however, the temperature reading is not very encouraging. its 43C on idle.
Here are the parts I put together:
GA8knxp
2.4C
Geil DDR4200
(2) Maxtor SATA 160GB 7200RPM 8mb cache
ATI 9800pro
Mitsumi 1.44mb floppy
Lite-on 52x-32x-52x
Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W
Vantec 92mm Tornado
SLK-900U
The next step for me is set the HDs as Raid0 via Intel's ICH5R, install the software and dabble in overclocking. Feel free to throw tips my way. By the way, This forum is really great on educating a newbie like me Thank you.
