Hi all, got my parts in and got them hooked up (for the most part, monitor should be here Monday). My zalman heatsink was missing a bracket piece that I needed 
One question I have, I'm formatting my 320g SATA hard drive and it's taking forever to do. Is this normal? Would it be this slow because I hooked something up wrong? There were 4 hookups on the back of the drive (I've never installed a SATA drive before) a SATA power plugin, SATA plugin, molex power plugin, and some other plugin with I think 8 pins. I plugged the SATA power, SATA plugin, and molex in, but I didn't know hat to put in the 8 pin spot. What goes there? RAID stuff?
