So, had a power supply with this new micro atx case. Everything looks fine. Going along. Put the motherboard in.
Why is there only a 12 pin power cable coming out of the psu, whereas on my motherboard there is only a 10 pin power socket. GRRRRR.
Suggestions please
by that, i mean 20 / 24 pin
ahar! the last 4 pins snap off

Great post mate. I was about to say that.
So... my biggest problem when building a PC... is fitting all the stuff in. I couldn't put my slave HDD where I wanted... cos' the fucking 7800GT hits it. Do'h. It only just fits where it is now anyway.
And of course... those nerves... for the first bootup. You just don't want to hit power... one last check! Yup, all fine. Ung. Bite the bullet. Press power.
IT WORKS! YESSS!
Or the fun of having an IDE cable that *JUST* isn't long enough. Wank stains.
Stupidly loud PSU but I CBA to change it lol.
its plugged to the motherboard and the back is working, so i aint a clue
p.s. someone has been anidiot while im away and put a tv next to my monitor and the radiation has made it go funny and degauss aint fixing it. Wavy lines hurt my eyes
Speaker left and right are pretty obvious, so I'd connect the front audio to those two, then probably rear speakers to the ones called FPOUT. Then see what happens.
Dont think there's much I can do it seems, a design flaw, if you will . Everything else is hunky dorey except the PSU which has the noisiest 80mm fan ever. Heh. Was going to sell it to my friend but shes backed out now (for 150) so mum wants it instead! Shame that on such a small case you can't fit a tv card AND a wireless card AND a graphics card with a bulky cooler. Would make a beautiful media centre PC.
On the ohter hand, USB wireless *-) or wired, even!
