p180 case, how in the world do you get these side walls off without prying.
is the right side even removable? i've never tried with mine

I think both the right and the left side doors are the same. In fact, I think I switched them because couple of the hinges broke on one side.


my hinges broke too :( but my case is clean:p

As soon as I find my OS disc it's time to start the software install.

Took a little longer to assemble, partially cause of the HD issue, but also cause I finally caught up on some sleep missed from the previous days.


But now we have disaster....................the driver disc that comes with the motherboard is blank. Shows up as blank on the new comp and the old one as well. Time to search their website :(

probably better, then you can get the updated drivers.

also, side note, how common are those cases with the ps on the bottom. is this to better airflow or what?

Not sure how common on the bottom PSU, but I did notice that my DELL case is the same way when I went to move it.


On the CD issue...I did manage to run the disc in my lappy, but it refuses to work on the one I'm building. Not only does it not run on the DVDrw drive I installed in it, but I also connected another CD drive to it and wasn't able to get it running. It seems I can't use the net port till I install the drivers, so it's a nice catch-22 runaround at the moment.

May have to use a SD card to use as a transfer medium.
