QUOTE (wlazara @ Mar 11 2009, 08:01 PM)  doh the DFI mATX x58 board doesn't have firewire... I don't really care that much about having firewire in my system, I'm just concerned about the front panel grounding... do I need firewire for that? no, as far as im aware just wire the firewire ground to a spare usb ground or power switch ground. |

Got one cable set almoust done, then i ran out of pins for those connector, need to go get more tomorrow. FW cabling left to do for this one. calbes are 73cm long so those shouldn't get too short.
The color scheme is what it's, there weren't any other colorcoded cables..

Why does the optical drive need specific screws? Won't regular optical drive screws work?

tbh im not entirely sure which screws class as optical drive screws as my drive didnt come with any. mobo screws are the closest, but i dont think they are long enough for the drive to clear through the slot. i think the bottom of the tray will foul on the case.
