    HELP! ABIT KR7A-133 RAID or NO RAID?

    << Why by a separate controller if you can get the RAID board for about the same price if not less and have the option to upgrade to RAID in the future? >> Mostly for convenience when it comes time to upgrade to another motherboard. Instead of paying a premium each time for onboard raid...

    HELP! ABIT KR7A-133 RAID or NO RAID?

    Don't bother with raid. If you need extra ide ports get a separate ide card.

    Well, it depends where your ide ports are located on your mboard. For most instances 18" will be fine.(that's what I use)

    will a thoroughbred run on current boards

    I'd wait. Just like how some kt133a boards aren't fully compatible with XPs(early abit kt7a's one example) this may also be the case.

    Ok i own 3 suson 80mm case fans at 36.5 dBa i beleive. They are sorta too loud. Would going to 32 dBa or less help much?

    use google.com or something and search for "7v mod". There are plenty of tutorials. Basically you need to connect the fan's black wire and connect it to the psu's red wire. (from this to this.)

    7v mod... Very easy. All you need is a tweezer or needle-nosed plier.

    Lepont Atlas SF-201-1 (it's a GREAT aluminum case, better than Lian Li or Coolermaster, so look, please!)

    Directron For the exact case. The style of it reminds me of Skyhawk's cases. Mwave has them under their house brand.

    IE6: Saving images as anything but a .BMP?

    Your temp files are trashed. Go to internet options>temporary internet files> and delete everything. You may also want to clear your history. That'll cure everything.

    Hard drive Burn in?

    Well, I break in a new hd by connecting to another computer for a few days or so and use it to keep temp files. Just to be safe I wouldn't transfer important files on to a brand new hd.(from experience:()
