DAY1
I just bought my parts and I'll be posting about it for a good while.
Here's the 3 types of posts I'll be writing.
___________Problems.
______________Mods.
________Measurements.

M-ATX Case: Aspire Qpack
Mobo: Jetway a210gdms-Pro
PSU: Aspire 420W 20 PIN
GFX: ati radeon x800xl
sata Hd: 250gb
CPU: amd 64 3000+ Venice
HSF: Stock

Problems:
1. Case: Reset, Power, Pin Connectors, are loose.

• Buy: Artist's Eraser/Clay to make it rigid

2. Sata HD: Windows XP won't detect SATA drives.

• -buy a floppy drive (ugh) For god's sake, it's about time we got rid of this dinosaur.
  

or

• -boot a USB HD and Ghost 9 it onto a SATA

3. Case, PSU: Wires are a mess.

• Buy rounded IDE Cable x 1, find some sheathing, plastic laundry clips.

4. PsU: Aspire PSU- 1 sata, 3 molexes. Only 1 Sata is bad.

• Need to buy a decent Modular 20 pin power supply. I can put in whatever plugs i want. Whatever length i want. A Link Depot/Superflower 450W is coming in the mail. Recommended by sleepeeg3 on hardforum.com
  

That's all i got around to doing. Installing Windows XP on the SATA slowed me down. Frag. I hate floppy drives. Soooo useless.
