I bought that Lian Li case in black, it looks so sleek and sexy. The picture on the catalogue page doesn't do it justice. It's incredibly lightweight as well.

Nice spec,

but what graphics card?

tang0 · 9 Aug 2006 at 11:21

I've just realised none of your spec will work together!

You better send it to me and I will help make it work! <-- That's how nice I am.

Hmm question:

Ive not got a clue about what drivers to install, all i know is with AMD's you need to install nforce drivers, whats the intel's equivalent?

nforce drivers are for nforce boards...they're not about the CPU.

Datamonkey · 9 Aug 2006 at 13:58

you will need,

intel chipset drivers.
intel storage manager drivers
then your video card
sound card and any other devices

you will find things on the intel side are nice and simple.

you can either get the latest versions of the drivers from your mobo site. or download the latest from intel.

what i tend to do is get the latest from mobo site, then install the intel drivers over the top.

As i found with the intel drives alone i would get some un-known device.

hope thats of some help

tang0 · 9 Aug 2006 at 20:39

Be interesting to hear some feedback on the motherboard (as its on this week and I confess I am contemplating building a Conroe rig just to see what all the fuss is about, sad but true).
