Sorry I have missed out on all the fun. Made a promise to my kids, less PC more them.
Congratulations to the winners.:peace:
 
the PS2 KB, mouse combo arrived today. This will teach me to give away my PS2 peripherals again.

the physical build is finished, i just need to install an OS, and test the build, although i know it works, because it has made it into the OS install to some degree already, and i can see the CPU, and RAM in the Bios.

What is the amount of interest for MX-mount keycaps among the users here who own Cherry MX / Kaihl / Gateron / Outemu keyboards?

Since I got into keyboards, I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of good keycaps and since I don't have the time to sell them, I thought someone else might want some, what with my new set of Modern Selectric on my FC660M

Given sufficient interest I may be able to offer up a Miami and a Dolch set to throw into a giveaway sometime. Both are doubleshot 104-key ANSI sets from Taihao, the Miami being PBT and the Dolch being ABS. I'm not sure about the specifics at this point i.e. whether I'll have to group them together (not pledging yet), whether to include a keypuller and what type, and someone may have to take them off my hands soon.

Lots of mech users so I would say there would be interest for sure.
 
Its starting!!!!!
@Norton set this 79i0lcs as single slot,and its actually pretty nice this way....i me mention it because i cant remember how long its been since i installed a ss gpu, aside from this one.and its a beast too

Ha, you're probably done by now ;)
 
no , oddly enough im not.
its stuck @ the little microsoft loading bar, it booted into desktop, all fine...then i restarted to remove the DVD drive, and install the Barracuda, and now when i go to reboot, it is hanging on the loading bar...the micrososft one.
i might need to RE-REinstall win7

**edited**

yeah, i got tired of waiting for that bar, so im just gonna reinstall win.
f$#@ it, its easier, atleast easier with this Samsung 850EVO ;)
the install disc didnt come with the mobo, so i have downloaded all of the necissary driver from MSI, and am ready for this bitch to boot, ill run some tests, and drain, pack it, and call FedEx :)

Maybe some1 can help here, this motherboard recognizes the usb peripherals fine in the biis, but once in windows i get zero.

well, i just got off the phone with MSI support, and they are telling me that i will need to create a newer install media with a "hotfix" compatability download that they have on theyre site, but sadly i dont have time for all that now, so im gonna need to Re-access this whole situation.

And I dont have Win10 or anything beyond 7 to install, and the winner, wants Win 7. so i will need to speak to the involved parties and figure out what to do.

im going to create a bootable ISO of win10 on a usb drive, just so the option is there, but my hands are tied otherwise.

aside from this nightmare, the PC PHYSICALLY is running Great! im very happy with it.


***edit*** confirmed with the winner, win10 will suffice,problem should be moot now ,thank god.lesson for anyone who loves win7 and is upgrading to skychicken chipset.

LOL!
Originally I was going to give the PC to the recipient and let him decide if he wanted to keep 7 or upgrade to 10, but he's on a Core 2 Quad and a 790i board with win7; he's getting a major hardware upgrade, he may as well get a software upgrade, too.
 
that disk you used looks legit AF "install windows activated" LOLWHAT
don't download iso's from torrent sites without checking the MD5
-.-
win7 is dead and should remain that way,nothing wrong with 10 regardless of what the morons tell you
glade its up and running

i was grasping @ straws and trying anything to get it to work, so relax, im not installing any pirated editions. i wanted to get into the OS SOME how, and i didnt really care how. i know what im doing, and again, I appreciate your opinion, but you need to realize that Im not just Picking things out of thin air here, and making decisions on my own. The winner ASKED for win 7 , so Your opinion on its usefulness, or lack there of aside, I was Certainly going to try all i could to give them what they wanted. Please try and understand that I am doing something here out of the kindness of my heart to have this PC up and running for the winner in the Spare time that i have , I really dont need the situation Analyzed by You, Respectfully.
 
I am not saying you used a pirated copy,the problem is those pre-activated versions will often refuse to upgrade because they have incorrectly 'cracked' the os either by tampering with KMS services or patching files which breaks a bunch of stuff and the os will never be 'right' or worse Microsoft may decide to shitlist the key if it fails certain activation checks

I pushed windows 10 because I know for a FACT that 7 Does not fly on skylake it just doesn't work and its a nightmare as you found out

I often come across as a asshole, but its because I know what a bad day you can have when shit refuses to work,and the solution is staring you in the face but you can't see it because tired/aggravation or misinformation ect la ect
 
Don't worry angry kitty, we love and respect you.

Also when i took delivery of the Case the TINY little plastic door panel hinge inserts were broken, so i took the liberty to reach out to Antec to have replacements shipped to ME, and in the most perfect timing, they JusT arrived :)
these things would be the "mistake" if there were one that Antec made when designing this case...10Lb doors, tiny plastic hinge support O_O

Ryan in support was Very nice, i just told him that MY new S-10 case, that i got from my mother in law as a gift needed to have them replaced, once he saw what i was referring to, he sent them out immediately, the only concern of his was that they dont have many replacement parts for this case in particular because it is so new, and it takes time for them to get replacements from the manufacturer's plant. ;)

also this too :) :toast: .......Me>>>>>:nutkick:<<<<<<Windows

Also GOD its hard to not OC this CPU :( SO tempted to upgrade the build
