wow, the build is going good so far. i have all the components put together. but the hdd i was gonna use turned out to be dead. so not i cant really do much. i tried a Live Linux distro and it ran well. well, except for the fact the my mouse wasnt supported, so i couldnt do anything. so im guessing that everything else is good and working.
so now im looking for a hdd. and ill eventually get a few more fans. and a cold cathode bar or 2. oh, and probably speakers and a monitor too. but first and foremost, i need that hdd. then i can use the speakers i have on this pc(the onboard sound is broke). and my friends's letting me borrow his spare monitor.
