Hi everyone!
Thanks again for all the awesome feedback...you helped me to build my first computer and it works nearly flawlessly!
The two challenges I seem to be facing is this:
1. Firewire card works fine from the back of the card but will not work when I hook up the cable from the card to the front of the case....can anyone one give me a clue how to test various aspects to discover what exactly is wrong?
2. My EVGA 6200 LE video card causes the screen to go nearly completely green when I tried Delta Force on it. [I am not a gamer but thought I would at least test it!] EVGA agreed to send me a new one...but I am still wondering if it could be something else...any ideas anyone?
