I got the new computer built yesterday, and got it up and running.
Windows 7 64 bit is loaded and everything is running smoothly.
but I still have a couple of minor hiccups to work out.
(1) there are two USB 2.0 ports on the front. I connected all the cables from the case to the motherboard. One of the front ports works, the other doesn't. maybe something is loose on the inside? any other thoughts?
(2) the case has a front firewire port, but the motherboard doesn't have any firewire. I left the plug to the front firewire loose on the inside - I assume it's fine to leave it like that?
(3) I don't think the hard drive LED is working on the front of the case. it doesn't matter much to me, because the hard drive (and everything else) is functioning just fine. Again, maybe just a loose connection on the inside? any other thoughts?
thanks again for everyone's help.
