Started to build the PC last night! It was carnage on a grand scale! Cut myself badly and bled all over the computer! The wiring looks like I have purposely tried to tie things in knots and make it look no swearing ! ...............beer and pc builds don't go together!!!
I think I have now got everything plugged into where it should go - apart from cable management, but have yet to switch on. Before I do, what things do I need to make sure I have done - are there any things you check just before flicking the switch? Don't want it to go bang !
Also, couple of quick questions....
I have the Silvertsone TJ-09 case - which is awesome - but there are an awful lot of wires coming out of it! At the top there are two - one called HD audio I think and AC 97 where do I plug these?
Does the case have a speaker ie for various beeps etc?
I have the X-fi audio card and it has various connections on the top of it - does anything need plugging into these? Didn't get any instructions with it?
Thermo sensors - I have a fan controller that monitors temps as well - where exactly do I stick the sensors? I thought graphics card, memory, CPU, HDD ? But where do I stick the sensors ie the graphics card (8800GTX) doesn't exactly have any visible chips etc where I could put it, the momory is covered by a heat sink, and I can't even get to the CPU due to the TT 120 on it! and where do they go on the HDDs ?
Thanks for any help! almost there!
