page 2.2 in your manual shows the placement of everything on your board really well.
thanks, i guess i went too far ahead in my manual altho i did see this page, i kind of ignored it due to the fact i figured it would tell me all the info i needed to know later on. i see the 8pin connector now. ahh ok i see now, i missed it on page 2-33 where it shows the 8pin connector.
ok time to plug in the 8pin, put everything in the case(hopefully i can get it to fit with all those power cables blocking the way) and hope for the best, hopefully i can get this sucker running.
then comes the part i really hate, messing with the divers(i had a really bad experience with my gpu and the xp updates erasing the drivers i needed. had to reinstalled xp 15 times before i got some help online to figure out what the problem was lol.)
thank you guys for your help, i really appreciate it, you have saved me a huge huge huge headache, i was getting really frustrated.

IDE is two channel. You can plug 2 ide drives into the plug. Just find a cable with 3 connectors. I would search old computers.
i got tons of ide cables, i decided to go with the one the mobo came with though. i am kind of a computer packrat, i usually keep old and outdated parts stored in a box (except when i took this case a part, i had some fun destroying the mobo, psu, gpu, cpu, ram, lan card, modem, both hdds(one was 6g the other was 15g lol) altho i did manage to keep all the ide connectors just in case, also salvaged the dvd player which im using, and managed to salvage 1 fan, and the bleep fan thing(altho i might get rid of it because it is magnetic, so i have it cased in the wrong direction and on the front of the case out of the way so it doesnt disrupt anything. ide hate for it to do some dmg to my parts.
