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

power it on!
as long as you have the case power switch plugged in correctly you are good to go.

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.
