High Pitched Screech from PSU on first boot

[Sardonic]

CPU temp 22 degrees
system temp 37 degrees

I got it working...I'll be the first to call myself a noob, the PCI-E power cord was not plugged in, therefore the GPU was trying to power itself through the mainboard.. PHEW!

Hope I didn't do any damage. I sure am glad it's going to be okay!

I WAS FREAKING OUT, MAN!

But Yes. I think so. I got as far as the XP load screen. I shut down because one HDD was "disabled" and I wanted to cable manage before I went "live" anyway.

I'll install windows and do all my loads while I'm here at work. Then when I get home I'll dual boot linux. Hopefully.

*OR* I'll install windows and get lost playing wow

Btw, I don't know how you guys all turned your harddrives around to hide the cables. With my Antec 900 enclosure, I am finding it almost impossible to do.
