Eh, thats a lot of dough. System will be loud as FREAK with that tornado, hope you have earplugs. I know this, I have heard one. In a closet. From 3 rooms down the hallway.

Side note on USB Drives - most setup as a removable drives, which does not require admin access. Some larger ones (1 GB+) may set up as non-removable, which will require admin access. All the ones that set up as removable work fine at my school.

i powered it up, and i'm not getting any video output, and the dvd drive wont open. i guess i have to check the power supply lines:thinking:

uhh, i'm too tired for this shiiiet. i'll get on it tomorrow.

btw, i powered it up, all 5 fans (2intake, 2 exhaust, and cpu tornado) were working, and it wasn't loud at all. It's quieter than my current sony rz computer:dunno:

Reseat the video card and make sure any additional power plugs it needs are solid. Reseat the memory too. Are you getting any beeps or anything? Is the case speakers and the rest of the other case headers (like the power switch on the front) hooked up correctly? Need more info.

I'm not getting any beeps. All of the case switches are all doublechecked. I'm going to reseat all of the power plugs tonite when I get home, as that was reccomended to me as well.

I added a CD burner and a Linksys WIFI PCI card to a computer to give to someone to leech internet off their neighbor and I had to pull the main ATX plug off and move the HD's around (there were 2) to get all the IDE cables to plug in properly and after I put it all back together, I went to turn it on and got nothing. I forgot to plug that ATX plug back in. Took me about 5 minutes of thinking I fried something to figure it out.

Processors in correct and the ZIF lever is down. The 4 prong plug is attached next to the processor? Memory if full seated and in the correct slots? Should at least boot and make some noises.
