Ok so I figured out why the monitor wasn't turning on, the ATX 12v connections is what I forgot to plug i :S. But now I am still having problems, the computer doesn't even get to the part that tells you what devices it recongises, I can't even enter the bios and the computer just resets its...

How do I do that?

I just built this computer and for some reason everything is really, really slow! Windows XP Pro took 8 hours to install, to format one 200gb SATA II drive, doing a full format under NTFS took just about 9 hours. Which is really, really bad and I can't work out why it is acting this way. Also...

I think I will go with Leadtek.... EDIT: I have decided to change my motherboard to a ABIT AN8 motherboard, nVidia nForce4 single chipset for 939-pin Socket for AMD Athlon 64/64FX, HT2000 (HyperTransport System Bus 2000 MT/s), 4 x 184-pin DIMM sockets (Un-buffered Non-ECC DIMM), Dual...

Thanks for the comments! No I'm Aussie so I can't buy off Newegg, I'm also missing out of the middle, middle man :). Which means I get all my PC parts at distributor prices :) So I save around $600 to $1000 Also I have never heard about InnoVISION (Inno3d) but this leadtek card just came...

This computer is a multi purpose computer used for music recording, gaming, office apps, dvd aurthoring, etc. I have always been an Intel user, but after a lot of convincing I have decided to try out the AMD chips. Just to mention, I am on a strict budget and I say this all the time, but...

Any suggesttions on cases sine I don't wan't to get the Tsunami any more because people having been saying it's annoying to open the case and power it on and it's a noisy thing. The only thing I want on the case is it to be black and has a see through side panel. What about these 2 cases...

Anyone else have any advice?

Just a note, I don't want to overclock this computer. Yeah but see if I do cut back and get a 3200+ instead of a 3500+ I save $100 which is about $70USD and the difference between the 6600GT and the 6800GT is $500 which is about $375USD (I was thinking of a 6800GT). So getting a lower speed...
