Is there a particular reason you're considering a full tower? | ||

There is alot of bloat in there for parts that aren't necessarily bad but don't necessarily belong together. | ||

 R04R, I would go with the Lian Li. They are known for very good build quality and good toolless designs that will make building so much easier. | ||

Is there a particular reason you're considering a full tower? There's no preference for me between full tower and mid tower. The full tower looks like a good deal considering its MSRP and huge cooling fans. I already have a low budget setup on newegg atm and I'm just looking to cut corners now. Edit: Thanks FragKrag, just saw your post | ||

Yeah, I built almost this same system but with better ram, a better mobo, a better case, better PSU (corsair!) and no bloat for just over $1000 canadian, which is just under a thousand US. | ||

You could also get a cm 692 basic and ram for the same price even without a combo, considering shipping on cm 692 is free. | ||

What's the difference between these 2? Heatspreaders? The more expensive one having better ones, or negligible? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611 600006066 600006050 600006127 600000261&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=147|20-231-193^20-231-193-TS,20-231-277^20-231-277-TS If there's no difference, I'll take the one with the $10 off promo code. | ||

They're directly connected to the PSU yet they don't spin -.- am I doing something wrong? So you connected the 4 pin Molex connectors from the fans to the PSU? hm that sounds very odd. Are you sure all 4 of the connections are in and that it is tight? Molex is a bitch sometimes. Do you have a Molex to fan header extension that you can use to see if it's a problem with the fan? | ||

I've googled many different things, but is there a site I can go to that has detail on the wiring? I have a DVD drive as well as a DVD+RW drive hooked up with those floppy ribbon cables, connected to the mobo. The DVD+RW drive works, but the DVD drive isn't responding. I hooked the two case fans up to the power supply as opposed to the SYSFAN1/2 spots on the mobo, and they're working fine. The heatsink/fan seems to be working fine. The graphics card lights are on, but like I said, something has to be wrong because I hooked the monitor up and nothing happened when I powered the computer on. I'm done working on it for the day. Ugh I was really looking forward to jumping back into the beta, with playable performance. | ||

If you have an ASUS mobo and have the memOK! feature, try that. Memory instability can cause an inability to boot. | ||
