Ill post pics later, but this was my first PC, and I think I have everything connected properly (except the Mic/Headphone) BTW, where are those plugs at on a P5B Deluxe Mobo?
Anyways, have a question. Fired her up for the first time, all the fans worked, etc, so were all good. Than it automatically brought up a screen asking what my main boot was, and I picked the Sony Drive (first good thing, it recognized the DVD drive, so atleast I did not mess that up). I put in the XP CD, and now it is "formatting" the drive, but its taking forever! Its a 320 GB HD, and after 20 minutes, its only at 4%! Is this suppose to take a long time? Also, was I suppose to go to BIOS on startup? lol
thanks
