Well, now I can't even get the thing to power on at all. It turns on and shuts down in less than a second. And I was looking at the AUS and EVGA based on what the guys at the shop said, and what the people here seem to say. Also, the fact that I have had the motherboard for over a year now...

Not sure. I didn't register it when I bought it. The guys at the shop said I should be able to send it back for a small shipping fee. Like I said, I am a little concerned that a shop who states they do work on "gaming systems" haven't heard of the Tpower x58. At this point, I really want to...

Okay guys, so I'll save you the long story. I've been in the process of building my core i7 system that I've been working at off and on for the past year. As a self described work-aholic, I've been building it as I can and as time allows. Well, I got the system all built, powered it on and it...

Able to get some work done on the wiring. Yes, I know it's a mess, but being that this is my first case, I want to connect everything to where it goes before I start to work on the wire management. If anyone sees something wrong or has suggestions, by all means send them my way. Also, does...

Yea, those holders are definately a pain in the rear. I had serious problems with mine to the point that I am just going to screw in my optical drives. Looking good so far. BTW, nice screw driver....I'm using the same one haha.

Thanks...the paint turned out okay, a bit spotty in some areas as you can see. But, I am happy with it. I'll be running an EVGA GTX 285 SSC edition for my video card.

Hey Guys, Resuming and continuing my posts here. Spent the better part of the morning trying to figure out the darn Core Contact Freezer installation. Got it figured out (after some time on google) and placed onto the CPU. About to screw the motherboard onto the case. -Pure

You can cover the holes, but you don't have to. I didn't and I haven't had any problems. A word of advice...careful where you leave the case to dry between coats of paint. I thought mine was in a safe place, until the family above me decided to water their plants on their balcony. I heard...

Rustoleum....flat black color. Bought several cans of it from Home Depot.

Roger that...thanks for letting me know about the pics....and again, thanks for the birthday wishes....As I said earlier, its a nice touch. :)

Can someone confirm whether the pictures showed up after the second attempt? I want to make sure they do for future reference. Thanks.

Thanks for that link Slay. I'm in the same boat as the OP, and I think that guide will really help with the process. -Pure

Okay, I'll try to repost those pics in a few minutes since nobody can see them. I painted the case a flat black by the way. Check back in a few minutes for the pics.

Hey Everyone, So the Wifi function on my iPhone has stopped working. I have tried everything I could think of. At first, I thought it was my router. But the Wifi fails to even detect networks when I am out and about. I tried a hard restart and got to the point of completely erasing my phone...
