good idea, building from scratch the first time seems easy but there are little niggly things like standoffs that get in the way and can make your build takea lot of time
The case's manual was weak. Most of the stuff i had to figure out on my own. Their were a lot of screwless stuff that i thought was stupid... O well, everything fit fine only thing now is the mobo.
Look at the picture where the outlet is...the audio ports arent in all the way, is that ok?
For the cpu pic, just wanna make sure i have it in the right way...and
for the manual, it has all the screws, which ones should i use...the 3 diff stand offs look really alike.
The CPU can only go in, one way. Make sure the golden arrow on the corner and the notches match. Although in the pic, it does look correct. The audio port seems fine. As long as you can connect your speakers or headphones, it's fine.
from the cpu pic i have...the arrow is on the bottom right corner...you have to same mobo, so i wanna make sure it was the same for you?
The angle is if you were looking at it with the mobo straight up.
If its the wrong way...do u think that couldve been the problem?
