This happened to me. i found out i did not put in the brass risers that sits between the case and mobo.
Does anyone have experience with replacing the sode grill with a fan on the Thermaltake Soprano Dx? What size is it? 90 mmor 92mm? I measure it from hole to hole at 90 mm but most fans come in 92....

Yes, I've installed it with the stock fan. Now when I turn it on, only the fans are running. No beeps or anything on the monitor. I've done the steps on Rob's first boot problem page. Should I...
So I got a new motherboard. I tried installed the cpu and fan. Then I realized that the minityphoon is too big for my mobo. The fan was crushing a transistor. Any recommendations for a fan for...
So this would not be a PSU problem? I did change out my PSU to the Raidmax 630W which started the fire.
Another question. When I installed the the Zalman cpu fan, I had to screw it in pretty...
I've tried the advice posted by Rob except grounding issue with the mobo screws. Took out video card, took out Ram...still no beeps.
Thx Jamie for your reply. Now I changed my PSU to a Raidmax 630W and my CPU fan to a Thermaltake minityphoon. I only put in videocard, RAM, and CPU. Plug in all the cables, turned in on, all the...

MySuperPC has 4 GB of RAM. I thought WinXP could only support max 3GB. or am I wrong?
Does anyone have any problems installing a GTS8800 in an Antec Sonata III case? I read the case may be a little small for this card on Newegg.
Are there any problems using Vista with a MySuperPC build? I was thinking of using the OEM version of Vista. What the differences between the oem version and retail?
Hey Rob, which OS did you use? XP or Vista? If you used XP, will this system be able to be upgraded to Vista?
Is there a difference between Sapphire or ATI brand of the X1950 pro (256 mb)? The Sapphire card costs $157 while the ATI card costs ~$70 more. Is there a difference between ATI and other brands...
I was thinking of building the (next) SuperPC. This conversation may make me build one with an Intel Core2. Which Intel chip would equivalent to the AMD 5200+. Besides the motherboard, could I...
Is there any reason to build a new system with Vista? I've used Vista on a new Gateway, and it seems to be not as stable as XP. It freezes, blue screen, etc. I have never had any problems with XP.
Thanks Rob. I'll be interested in your results. Maybe I will go with faster RAM with only 1 GB.
I've read Rob's OEM page and was wondering which site do people recommend to purchase OEM part/software.
So in the end, is it really worth the extra $$$? or would it be better for me to spend that money on a better video card?
Great site! I plan on building my own SuperPC. However, I am limited on my budget. As for my RAM, is there really a difference between the Crucial DDR2 PC2-6400/DDRII-800 vs. DDR2...
