Oh sorry yeah it arrived, it was like Christmas for me last night, sorry I've been using all of my time trying to put it together, I was working on it till 2am last night and started again at 7:30 this mornin. When I went to sleep last night I had finished installing the parts except the CPU cooler, this morning I installed that then started wiring it up which was the hard part because I watched loads of videos about installing the bits but nothing about the wiring, I had no idea what I was doing and by the time I was finished with everything I had to go to work again, so I've only just been able to test and see if it works. It's guts are still hanging out the back of the case because I didn't want to try cable management before I was sure it worked (Didn't want to undo it all).
Anyway got back tonight and finally got to turn the power on, ... nothing happened... so I looked at the back of the case and found that the PSU was off, I must have had it on before and turned it off by mistake, I tried again and it started and is working perfectly! That is except for the overclock I was supposed to have had, it doesn't show me as having one. I'll need to look into that, maybe I just need to turn something on in the BIOS. If thats not it I'll be contacting Overclockers to find out whats going on. I've installed Windows 7 which looks like Windows XP to me, I think I like the look of Vista more and right at this moment my PC is updating, the security and anti virus, after that I may install a game and see how it runs with something like that. I'll have to manage those cables too and try out the 3D function and get directx 11.
Vis try Overclockers I've found them to be fairly cheap.
