gOt sKillz?!

Well my computer got stupid again for no reason. So i decided to remove everything. I inverted my motherboard so now it looks like a BTX type of motherboard similar to chiboy’s. It was a lot easier to hide the wires this way. and its a lot cleaner. But theres one hard part which is the 4pin connector to the motherboard. I did gave me a headache. Installed XP without problems. Had everything working again. Hope its going to be stable for a long time. My HTPC is also on its way. Stay tuned!

Ever since i installed those raptors my motherboard cant detect NTFS hard disk format! I can install Windows! Its like a 70/30 chance of me installing windows to my HD. After all the trials I finally installed windows XP but my computer freezes alot! Can’t even find what is the source of the problem. But my guess is the motherboard or do i lack power from my power supply? Do i need a new power supply or motherboard? Got to fix this DCWareZ 2nd lan party is just around the corner!

Yeah I know expenses again.
