Fractal define r4 I just noticed that I forgot to plug in the power sw and reset sw cables, damn small things. I suppose that could be it? | ||

EDIT: Question, the manual shows me plus and minus connectors, but it doesn't specify if they are positive ones or if the positive ones should go in there. Or am I just being stupid and the positive plugs go into the positive connectors? | ||

Just cleaned out my case from dust today, didn't bother plugging anything other than power button back in. Good thing I don't have one of those PCs, or rather one of those motherboards? Ya know silentchill, you can probably just run the computer with just the power button put in. Np. | ||

Then again, it has a vented bottom, top, and front, decent exhaust at the back, and filters on most. It will fit everything I see, and it has an integrated three speed fan controller. Even with high-end graphics cards? Because one thing that speaks more to me here is the additional HDD mounts over the Air540 (I'm only buying one now, but you never know about storage in the future) | ||

But it told me it can't start since hardware was changed (well, alll of it) and my old DVD drive is too old to be compatible with my motherboard, so I guess I have to get a new one tomorrow to install the driver of the motherboard Edit: IT offered me to repair the system and has been doing so for a while now, is it useful and how long will it take? | ||

You are using an old drive with Windows on it? If so then that would be why you are getting that message. | ||

Your motherboard has drivers on it? Can't you use a laptop or the computer you're using, with a USB stick, to get the relevant drivers? Also I'd to a fresh windows install. | ||

You can also install windows from a 4 Gb USB stick, using this utility: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool Using that you can make a virtual CD from a usb stick, though you need to download the virtual CD (.iso file) from microsoft as well. @Leo: yes and very easily | ||

Dude! Don't use the driver CD for anything. There's only ancient drivers on it anyway. You can install Windows fine without manually doing anything to the drivers. Windows Update will just deal with all devices automatically the moment it can get online. There's a good chance everything will work perfect, without issues. If you want to use the motherboard manufacturer's drivers, you can visit their website and look in the support section for your board, download the drivers there. Installing Windows can be done through putting Windows on a USB stick, so you don't need an optical disc drive for anything really, though you need another working computer to create that USB stick. | ||
