Thanks alot, any pics are appreciated! -ben
PS: the places where i plugged all this stuff in must have been wrong b/c i got no POST beep.

Pull all of them off except for the power switch, make sure that one's correct. The others won't affect anything.

I cant realy help but i can tell you one thing, good luck. Im 16 and my dad would never let me build my own computer(I upgrade it all the time though hmmmm)

bump?

OK.

The pins on a KK266/KK266R are in one solid block. The power connecter goes between 1 & 13, which happen to be the very bottom two if the motherboard is upright with the CPU in the upper left.

heh, those things are annoying.. we need a univeral plug for that... just the power led, hd led, power sw, and reset sw.. that's it. All that does is take up useful time

Your rig is simply amazing for a 14-year old. I'm twice your age (28), make a lot of money as a senior web developer and I'm using a Celeron 800MHz system that I bought used 2 weeks ago for $350. What's wrong with this picture?

Looks like Superpabs13's "supercomputer" is kicking a lot of our butts.

When you press the power button do all your devices turn on?(hard drive, cdrom drive, etc)

16 year old here. He's got my rig beat too. I wish I had rich parents, oh well.

Responsibilities! Youngsters don't have bills and whatnot to pay.

I know because I'm finally moving out on my own soon... nice freedom, but man, those bills are definitely gonna curtail my expenditures! :frown:

I second that notion. Plus it's always a pain figuring out which pin is ground ...

 

[Superpabs13]

My folks didnt pay for the rig guys, i just bag groceries and caddy. Plus the fact that i have no expenses, besides fun stuff *no bills!* I am still having trouble getting this thing to POST....i am beggining to think my mobo has problems...b/c i get no POST beep. The light on my motherboard does turn on though. If you have pics of the speaker/pwr on thing in place plz post them!

BUMP!
