Yeah, if I return this it won't be for a replacement... Generally I've had good luck with the Asus WS boards (even ones with crappy newegg reviews), guess not this time.

So, yeah no speaker attached... dug around the spare parts bin and found one got it hooked up. Pulled all of the RAM to test the speaker (it is working). Went ahead and cleared the CMOS. Put two of the original 8G DDR3/1600 sticks back in, powered up same result (no display, no error/warning...

The Amazon reviews are fine, as are reviews from people who I know aren't idiot newegg customers (see the review at STH here). Also, if the board won't post how extactly do I flash the BIOS? Yes, 8 pin (and all other power connectors) are plugged in. I haven't, trying to avoid ripping apart the...

Hey everyone, Finally getting around to replacing my ancient PC (C2D Wolfdale....) and of course I'm running into issues. Here are the build specs: Case: Corsair 540 PSU: SeaSonic SS-660XP2 Motherboard: Asus P8C WS CPU: Intel i7-3770 HS/F: Corsair H90 RAM: 4x8G DDR3/1600 (g.Skill...

Chances are you don't actually need any of that... First - check out any build log by spotswood (such as this one: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=207663) Another good build log (with videos & different materials): http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=192623 Also...

Sorry for the late reply... If you get Intel's thin mini-itx board (the q77 one), it has the psu on-board. Just need to add the right power brick.

Wesena itx4 Dimension: ----- 240mm×250mm×100mm (L× W× H) [9.5"x10"x4"] Not sure if it will fit that GPU or not...

Lian-li has the D8000, also mountain mods makes large cubes (probably not cheap to get to EU though...).

Need another case like I need a hole in my head... But it does look better than 99% of the mATX cases I've seen lately.

Actually it's 15mm (the WD 2tb 2.5" drive).

I use the startech with the 8087 port (SATSAS425BK).

Did you do anything to the counter top (they come with oil pre-applied), or using it as is?

Only the straight ones are available at the DFW Ikea. The 'corner' ones went MIA last year some time. Also, the website only shows the straight one.

I'm using multiple of these: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SFF-8087-2-5in-5-25in-Backplane/dp/B005WKK31E The 8087 connection is just wonderful (and right angle connectors work great).

That's the original (like 3+ years ago) solid. It's the super crappy jmicron controller (as linked by the above poster). I still have 3 of them. They're basically useless.
