Did you fix it or the problem still there?

Damn that Fractal pearl looks sexy. Too bad I don't think its available this side of the ocean.

hmmm, that video card isn't much (as in its 3-4 generations old), but your processor is old as well. I think that mobo on your specs accepts Phenom IIs. Even a Phenom II 550BE would give you a good boost ($90): your current processor vs 550BE...

I like that new HAFX look better than the previous HAFs.

try removing stuff and testing them one by one. test one video card at a time, then start adding components until you get a beep or an error message. remove all unnecessary USB for now. what motherboard is this on?

Did you plug in the powersupply to the video card? (6-pin/8-pin 12v+)

So did you plug in the ATX 4 pin as well? Do the fans spin at all (does it stay spinning and the screen is just black?), check if he has a microphone attached to the motherboard for beeping, some cases don't come with a beeping speaker.

Did you plug the ATX 4 pin power as well? Are you getting any beep errors in the bios or can you not get into the bios at all?

yep, and also what resolutions do you play your games at?

lol I thought for a sec that the lcd costs 199.99, until I read it again. :( lol $399 is not that bad I guess. The viewsonic 2233RZ does only 1680x1050 and it costs almost the same.

That sucks. Cases usually are shipped in double boxes. They must be really careless to do that too because the ATCS is pretty tough. ugh, I can only imagine how annoying that is finally getting your shipment then finding out its damaged.

Going through Mass Effect 1 rather slowly. lol I bought ME2 already but I probably won't play it until after I finish the first one (which will most likely take me a month or two)

lol that looks frakkin cool. I still play Jedi Knights from time to time so this would serve as a good replacement. lol (unless there's no light sabres on this mod)

whoa, what is that extra bracket thing on the Firepro? I wish more cards have designs on the other side instead of just PCB because that's the one that is most often visible. hehe

I do play at a slow pace :) I tend to like exploring every nook and cranny. Soldier is pretty basic and offers the most armor and usage of weapons. No psychic or tech powers though.
