No floppy needed, and has not failed yet.

Not true with that motherboard it has ASUS EZFlash. A windows program that will do it. I have the premium of that board and I have done it a few times, easy as pie.
I still have a floppy though for other things.



EDIT- DAMN you just beat me black

:thumbsup:


the logitech is a wireless mouse/keyboard set. there are 2 120mmfans in the case with no space for more.

edit: also it's a fortron(FSP) power supply and i always had the notion those were very good. maybe not as good as PC&P but still up there.
