heyal,

OMG i went to read up on my stuff for the build and bout chittyed my pants i could swear that the motherboard had online video but doesnt say anything regarding it.... and now i have NOOO video card.

am i not reading something? where did i mess up? i have no way of getting one either.

i'm sooo depressed

oh and the case opened it up pretty thin and i would think that the back panel would be removable to attach the motherboard but it bolted and leaving no room either.

any suggestions before i cry in hysterical slumber?

thanks,
sb

heyal,

well an update... i'm still confused lol

i got a video card and there was a rebate and a quote and blah blah blah...out the door $15.00 for evga geforce 7100 xx still trying to get things connected but i was soooooo mistaken for getting that JPac 416 case with 500w psu.

looks are extreemly discieving, well it was the price i didn't care what i would look like it'll be under a desk anyways but hey..DON'T BUY IT!!!

frame description say steel... try renyolds wrap and the back plane for motherboard... doesn't come out, everything is riveted in. removing the i/o sheild ...just bend and snap right? i had to cutting screers thick beek like sissors took couple hours. am uploading pic.

wow it worked lol 1st time ive done that. any case is week well except for the plate. lol [i just took pic with my phone so not going to be grt pic]

anyway couldnt get motherboard in for hours,... but i just have to connect all the cables and we'll see then, i'm just confused on a few things like i can't find the connectors it says to connect ... but i ran out of light lol

oh and the dvd/rw i didn't know it but it has light scribe.... i'd didn't but didn't excite me but a bonus lol.

ok the audio cable from dvd to motherboard only onle is digital one and the mb is 8 channel yadda yadda but both places warn if used could damage unless its made for but neither say they are but both mention it. and thats the only cable there.

i just want it workin soooo bad lol

cya {{{hugs}}} thanks for letting me vent a bit.
