Well, all I need is a way to easily connect a SMART card when needed (which is not often). I currently have a 3 ft. cable connected to the rear C port to connect my phone for file transfer; I reckon I can just get a female-> female adapter for the cable that I can plug the card reader into. I...

Working with the P7 Silent variant of this case. Nicely engineered, per usual with Antec.

Must have been a short. Connected just one of the fans for the BeQuiet cooler, it spun right up and F2 took me right into the BIOS. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

I agree, and had I thought of it (Doh!), I would have tested the mobo outside the case. Had never run into the standoff problem before, so I didn't suspect it until I put my thinking cap on. Life is for learning, yes?

No

Yep, made sure of that when I started over; now every standoff in the case supports the motherboard and has a screw. If this turns out to have been the issue, it strikes me as odd that the manual (such as it is) doesn't make a point of letting the user know. Will fire it up today with fingers...

Well, pulled it all apart, set up outside the case and sure enough the CPU fans spun up. So, unless I am mistaken, there was a short created in/by the case. Have put it all back together but haven't fired it up yet. Question: if it doesn't spin up, what would likely be the cause? I've never had...

Today I am starting over, but first will a) try the stock cooler on the affected headers, and b) plug on of the fans into a case fan header. If the problem should be a faulty header, then I guess the next move is to return the mobo to the Egg, but I've never done such a return and have no idea...

So, put together a new build today, and at first power up, fans in BeQuiet cooler would not spin up. Case fans work fine, graphics card fans ran, all else appears good. Corsair 550W PSU, Asrock B450M Pro 4 mobo, Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, Corsair LPX 3200 RAM (2x 8GB). Power leads from fans on correct...

Iost most of mine to typical male pattern baldness in my early 20s. Nothing to be done about it, just deal. Keep it short and life is simpler. I'm at an age where it no longer matters how I look, just so long as I can look. ;)

I have two short-sleeve button-up shirts I've have for over 10 yrs. now and they are still as good as ever. Got em at Mervyns years before they went under, and not a stitch has dropped, the fabric is as solid as it was when I bought it, and I still look good in them. No plans to get rid of them...

Thank you! Being cooped up as we are brings out the nasties on these forums (who may well be like that anyway), but I'm pleased to see the mods stepping in.

Hmmm, perhaps I should re-read/re-watch. Could be my memory is failing me. It will also be interesting to see if anyone in the cast goes on to equally good roles in other genres. Now that production has come to a Covid-19 halt, actors are waiting to get back to work, and we are equally ready to...

Excellent, thanks!

Well, my last rebuild was the most fun I'd had in a while, and the case was the only part that made it to the new machine. My sig tells it all, and it ran me about $900 all told. Didn't want to go with liquid cooling, and it's only in games that I hear the fans (1 case, 1 CPU, 2 GPU) spin up...
