		if your front side usbs from your case arent plugged in properly, it could kill the mobo.  I had it happen to two of mine cry: 
 
3rd pic connection is a 2nd mobo power connection 
 
4th connection is power for a floppy drive

 That DFI board isn't crossfire enabled, the DFI LanParty UT RDX200CF-DR Crossfire is the board you;re looking for, although the new rossfire chipset is due out very soon and is much better.

		Thinking about going with this barebone asus then building on top from there  
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products ... _uid=95028
good/bad idea? I know its limited to 1 pci slot and will need to go sata hd way but is it good enough to slap a decent athlon, 256mb ati x800 and 1 gig of ram in it? Plus it says mini tower but im confused as if it uses a normal motherboard or the smaller ones like in the shuttles?

		350w psu is very adequte, im not aiming for crossfire, dual processors and 1235235 internal fans, plus its a MiniTower pc so guess what the recommended 'As for total wattage, buy a unit that matches the size of your system: MiniTower=350w,MidTower=380w, FullTower=450w and ServerTower=550w.' 
 
 
 
anyway my final list ignoring the dvdr wireless and hd that were thrown in there to estimate final price.
