90% there...
I put together all the components I talked about in a prior post. I ordered the wrong memory, I did not realize my mobo (abit aa8 duramax) only accepted 240 pin DIMM. Anyway i ordered two 512mb from new egg and will get it soon, then i'll be complete w/ hardware...
A few questions
How should i go about installing everything, in what order and whats first?
I put the two SATA 200gb Seagate Hd's in and was thinking about raiding them, which way should I do it, and also I have an old 20gb seagate from about 4 years ago I put in my lian li case from an old pc. It has windows and all some of my files on it, which i have backed up and they aren't that Important...I was thinking of just keeping that HD as a backup for files like ...
word/adobe/pictures/music (20gb should be enough?) and put my videos, games etc on the 200gb drives. However there is only one IDE spot on my mobo and its taken up by my SATA 200gb seagates, is it even necessary to find a solution to connect my 20gb 4 yr old seagate???
Also how should I partition the 200gb drives, one for OS and programs, one for videos and music?
I put an hp DVD dual write with light scribe technology in my PC and a two year old DVD player in the case, i saw a place on the mobo for a sound cable that is supposed to connect to a cd player, so I connected that to my DVD player NOT my DVD burner...is that fine or do i need both to have the connection? Thanks in advance!!!
Other than that I think I installed everything else correctly, I'll take pictures tomorrow and post em.
