Was going to explain all this but after five hours of WWF with a Survivor on my bedroom floor I CBA. So pics will have to do.

Looking nice so far

I like the emblem on the I/O Shield, nice little touch.

Tell me about it ! If the CPU doesn't arrive on Monday I'm going to Plymouth to hand out some pimp slaps.

Can't sleep so I decided to get some more done.

Fitted the molex modular cable. Wired up the DVD, LEDs fans and so on.

Fitted the ram and test fired the PC with no CPU in. Fired up like a champ.

Now I know I picked the right ram for this board...



You may have noticed I mentioned getting a white LED fan for £4.99? Placement is key when you're on a budget. Project has now been renamed 'Brittania' I shall leave you to figure it out



Front. Logo switch is now wired up so I can switch off the logo.



And after some subtle mods the fan is now in and running.

It's a shame I never notice subtle things..

What I should have done was download the manual at first and then I would have saved myself some aggro.

Third or fourth page of the manual...

"Fox Update (tm) comes with the motherboard on the utilities CD. It allows you to connect to the Quantum website and automatically download and install the latest bios. It also allows you to load a bios and install that one within Windows"

Well, that'll teach me. I'm now an IDE user

Mind you reading the manual has thrown up some awesome sauce. It's dual bios for a start. You have have them auto detect or force certain ones to come on. Sooo. What I'll do is put on this beta bios that allows the 4 series to work and then use the other one for trying out future bioses

Well, another day passes and I get to watch the postman walk past without an I7. I'm furious now. I paid extra because Amazon claimed -

ORDER THIS PRODUCT NOW TO RECIEVE IT BEFORE THE 11TH DECEMBER !

It's now the 13th.

What's pissing me off is I could have ordered it from Aria, OCUK, anywhere else and got courier 24 hour.

Any way the fan came.
