Not sure of the actual name to the plating underneath the motherboard that helps hold the CPU fan but... I'm trying to remove the said plating underneath the motherboard to install a Thermaltake Bigwater CPU waterblock. However, after removing the plastic frame where a fan will normally sit...

Yikes...I meant for your sound card. My similiar problem rectified itself when I downloaded the latest drivers from the sound card manufacturer.

I am I getting blind with old age, but where is the option for the "one time" credit card payment?

What are some good/reliable hardware vendors that takes Paypal payments other than PC Nut? I need more than just cooling or overclocking stores...someone that sells almost every part of a computer.

At what point in the OS install process are you having problems? Is it from the very beginning, the text mode installation process, or after you've copied all the files and continued into the GUI install process?

I need some help. I recently purchases a KR7A (non-raid) and an XP1600+. After installation, the system doesn't even POST. There are no error code beeps. I verified everything was seated properly and even switched our the DDRs (OCZ DDR3000s). I then moved the cpu, memory, and video card on...

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, will the new AMD chips be compatible with the current socket A form factor and mobos?

Ditto. Newegg is probably the best place right now.

My two cents: I've run an STL2 mobo with dual P3 933's, 1 Gb RAM (1 stick), FDD, Internal HDS, CD-ROM, vid card, RAID Adapter, and 10 internal 10000rpm drives with the 300W PS that came in the SC5000 chassis. Do I recommend it? Probably not. Does it work? Yes...it's been running in our test...
