Hello all. I'm new here and in the middle of my 1st real build.
I have
HAF 932
ASUS DV+R
Hitachi TB SATA3
OCZ ModXstream 500w PSU
currently running on borrowed MoBo CPU and RAM so I won't go into details there since in a month or so I'll be upgrading to
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 Board
AMD Phenom II x4 965 Deneb
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 2000(only 2 Gig on board so long as I continue to run XP upgrading to 16 Gig when I get Win7 onboard.
CM V10 CPU Cooler to flesh it all out.
I also plan on upgrading my PSU for a few 100 more watts as well. I actually got my PSU for free as part of a Combo deal from Newegg. I bought the OCZ Sabre gaming KB for $68 bucks after rebates and instant $100 discount. Can't beat free imho.
I've already sprayed the inside of my case satin black. Unfortunately CM was stingy with the Red LED fans. In blue you get 3. In Red you get a lone single Red 230. Let's just say it's dark as a medieval dungeon with the door on since the LED fan is up front of the HDD rack.
I'm kind of annoyed with CM at the moment. I have a parts request in with them and they've been sitting on it for 2 weeks now. My Power/HDD lights are DOA. They know about it and I've spoken with the guy about it 3 times now. If they don't send me an email about it today I'm going to box the whole thing up and send it to them with a note on what they can do with it. I'm not appreciating the down time. It put a screaming halt on my build.
I wouldn't be so angry but not only are my LEDs' DOA, my USBs' are 180'd(don't know if this is normal for CM cases this is 2nd and the other one is same) and the stingyness on the LEDs' when the other case has 3 blues is extremely annoying since I paid full price for the HAF 932 and $35 shipping.
Anyway Cin Cin all.
