    Which MB for C2D E6600 INVERTED in case?

    I'm going to build a new gaming rig and wonder which board is best for my case which mounts the MB inverted with the power supply on the bottom. I currently have two BFG 6800GT OC graphics cards for SLI, and should I upgrade those as well?

    Power on Problem

    Do you think that is needed if the LED on the MB is on (goes off if unplug the PSU)? It seems that the MB is getting power. Also, is there any other way to reset the CMOS/BIOS other than removing the battery? Thanks Scott

    We had a power outage, and my UPS took over. I powered down the PC via the XP menu. When we got power back, the UPS is working, there seems to be power to the motherboard (green light on) but the PC will NOT turn on. Could it be the power button? Any ideas? Thanks, Scott
