So here are the promised pictures from my recent motherboard upgrade. ;)

First the old MoBo before I took it out...

The new one after I put it in. It was a little tight, but worked.

Four of these bad boys at 1066MHz :grin:

The CPU, heat-sink and 4 sticks of RAM installed.

Adding my 1GB GeForce GT 240

The power, reset and LED cords fit by a hair. My only gripe is that ASUS put those connectors on the bottom left instead of the bottom right. I stuck a piece of cardboard in to keep it from pulling. That is a short term fix until I get the extenders.

All done!

Please let me know what you think :)
 
Yeah, you're really not meant to touch the contacts on the RAM like that, or at all :p The chance of you damaing it while doing so is actually very low, but still higher than not touching it.

Anyway, good build. I love it when a plan comes together :D
 
Between 38C and 48C.
Well I've ordered power switch extenders because the motherboard had the connectors on the bottom left. That is why it's a mess now. Once I get them, I'll clean it up a bit.

Well I think your main problem is the big clump of wires just hanging off the power supply. Move your DVD drive down a slot and then stuff them up in there and get them out of sight.
