Thanks guys. I'm not exactly in a panic since I can always pry the door open if i have to. I'll keep checking their website to see if I can get through and thanks Calvin, for the offer, but I think the keys are real keys so yours probably wouldn't match my lock (and yes I lost BOTH of my keys...

Does anybody know where I can get replacement keys for the Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA case? I can't seem to find mine and I can't get to the thermaltake website - did they go out of business? Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I checked at the logitech website and they actually have a list of their different wireless peripherals/receivers. It looks like all of their keyboards boradcast on one channel and their mice/pointers on another so there whouldn't be any conflicts or interference. Thanks for the replies...

I was assembling my system last night and when it came time to connect the case led's , reset switch, etc to the mobo, I realized there was no speaker installed in the case (Thermaltake Tsunami Dream). Is this normal? The manual says there should be a wire for the case speaker but I couldn't...

I'm thinking of picking up the mx1000 to go with my new rig. I'd like to keep using the old cordless keyboard I have (cordless itouch keyboard) does anyone know if there would be interference or software compatibility issues? Thanks, Chris

Thanks, I thought that was an option but I searched around and couldn't verify... Chris

I'm just finishing a new system and I'd like to install WinXP Pro on it, but I only have the upgrade version. Will I need to install Win98 SE first and then do a clean install of XP? This could be a problem since the new rig only has a SATA drive and I don't think Win 98 will recognize it...

Thanks for all the help so far.... A component was delayed in shipping so I've still got a little time before I fire this thing up. Thorin, I'm jsut going by what the Asus manual says. I figured I'd update to 9.0c later, but I've got it downloaded so I guess I could do it first... I'm...

Right..., well I did have the chipset drivers as step 7 and other drivers as step8... The Asus manual implies that there are additional USB drivers, audio drivers and such on the CD that are separate from the chipset drivers. Maybe I'm just reading the manual wrong... Anyway thanks for the help...

Heh, I never would have looked in that thread... I've been debating about the SP2 thing for a while and I'm not sure I'm willing to chance it just yet. I do have Norton Internet Security and I'm definitely not connecting the network cable until that's up and running on the new rig....

Thanks, just curious - why video drivers last? I wouldn't think the video, audio, USB drivers, etc. would be related so I wouldn't think the order would matter... Chris

So, I'm just about finished putting everything in the case and I want to make sure I'm going about this process correctly (first build with a SATA drive and win XP...). This is the system: Athlon 64 3200+ Asus K8N-E Deluxe PNY GeForce 6800 GT 1024 MB Corsair value select RAM (2x512)...

Thanks, that'll save me around $100 I've heard that the AMD boards with 3 memory slots don't always let you use all three at once... I'll have to look into the mobos I'm considering more carefully... There was a link to a PSU overview a few days ago and several people around here were...

Thanks, any suggestions regarding the mobo or dvd unit?

Well, I've lurked around here long enough to see that you guys give pretty good advice so I thought I'd ask a couple of questions about the new system I'm planning to build. The system looks like: Asus K8N-E Deluxe AMD64 3200+ 1GB PC 3200 RAM - maybe Crucial Ballistix, maybe not (see...
