I know it has a clip, I still can't get it out.

I'm 14 *waits for it*...

wait til you're 16, those clips are child proof :laugh:

while normally i'd tell you force is NEVER the answer, just push really hard on the top of the clip. somtimes they lock on real tight. (remember to use force on the clip, NOT when pulling the plug out)

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

those 7 things dont get used,, the plug on the end of it does,, plug it into the green audio header on the motherboard

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

Ok then all I have left to do is get that stupid thing out. I've even pulled the clip up from behind but it still won't come out.

I give up.

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

grab the clip with your thumb, & while pulling up slowly from side to side.

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

maybe let your dad try

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

I've already gotten my dad to try, he couldn't do it either.

I've got it out a little bit, there's a small gap

well, you might have to use some force. it sounds like a real bitch.

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

My fingers are so sore, I'm gonna have to try later

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

can you post a picture of this mighty clip,,

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

As you can see, the clip isn't actually clipped on anymore but I can't actually get it out.

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

what happened to the number 18 wire. it look like it's missing.

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

I was wondering that, there was nothing in it. I hope it doesn't matter, don't wanna send it back really because...

I got it out and my computers done!!!(!!!) Whether it works is another thing but it's done! I'm just waiting for my dad to get home with cable ties.

Mussels · Nov 22, 2008

the missing wire is a negative rail. lots of modern PSU's dont come with it.

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

HOLY FUCKIN JESUS IT WORKS!!!!!

I'm in Kubuntu 8.10! Everything has said that it doesn't work without a lot of hassle with the geforce 6100 but it works!!!!!

im so happy!!!

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

hows kubuntu treating you? i'm too used to windows to bother with linux based OS's.

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

I actually really like it. I have to wait for Adept to finish updating the package list so that I can install Firefox though

I love how like everything is just a widget

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008

Good to hear your up & running,, Kubuntu is rather nice once the video driver is installed. I have a guest pc at home setup with Super Ubuntu 2008.10, works really smooth.

Stephen · Nov 22, 2008

I'm about to install the proprietary driver. I'm not sure how it will go because as far as I know the nvidia drivers don't work with the geforce 6100. I don't know about the latest one (177.82) but the others didn't.

The chassis fan is so cold! It's actually making my room freezing. At least it should keep the computer nice and cool.

unless its an airconditioner, its physically impossible to make something colder than the air temperature itself.
