A friend very kindly donated me some equipment to bring my rig slightly closer to the modern world, 4 gig of ocz amd black edition, a asus p5k-c and a power supply capable of running crossfire so I'm very happy
second 4850 is In the post now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And my mum got me this for crimbo. Great stuff : p ![]() Just a shame about the dam IDE cable, it's only a backup drive so might get a sata adapter for it. |

I ran my 975x system like that before I got my SATA drives and you had to really look to tell there was an IDE drive in it.

Wish I'd thought of that before i put it all together
think I've got a cable without the sleveing somewhereEdit: does anyone know what case that is? If it is even a named brand? As my mate who gave it me doesn't know either. Just curious Last edited by ste2425; Jan 7, 2013 at 06:49 PM. |

That's an Hercules 2605 although the side panel is different: http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-Tower...J2?ref=prid-20
OEM is K-MEX I think.

Nah, it works fine for a couple of hours and then warning messages show up about power surging occurring on usb port. Even with it just sitting on my desk unplugged, it still looks rather awesome.
EDIT: Since writing this I tried it again with it also plugged into a power outlet (it has an auxiliary DC 5V power port), and it seems to transfer files at a faster speed so here's hoping I have fixed the problem and thus no more power surge. ![]() PS; no power surge yet afer 6 hours

Yep. There are two retention mechanisms on the back.
You could have also checked his system specs
