If it won't fit, then you should get a get a hard drive cooler and then fit it in your drive bays. It think it'd be a nice solution since it also cools your hd

EDIT: oops, wrong link, lol. sry. here ya go

How on earth does it NOT fit? :/

It goes in the front behind the fans.

Take out the one of the 3 bottom cages (the ones with a fan), then slide it in with the metal cover facing up and the SATA II ports facing towards your mobo. It should fit as it is compliant with the hard drive standard unless your Antec 1200 came all fuglied up.

On your hard drive, the metal cover with the large sticker. Make sure that is facing up. And your hard drive should be resting on these metal slots jutting out (there are 3 levels of metal slots for 3 hard drives to fit in) so that you push it in all the way so that it lines up with the screw holes on the side.

If one of the cages has a plastic thing around it towards the rear end, that is the fan holder and you should remove that.

I currently have my Antec 1200 open and am puzzled at how your hard drive is not able to fit.

the information you need for connecting the front panel should all be in your motherboard manual.

ok, first thing you need to do is take a deep breath haha, chill out man we can do this!

are you using the stock heatsink that came with your CPU or did you buy an aftermarket one? also AMD or Intel CPU?

Your monitor connects to your VGA (or HDMI) port on your video card

Hate to tell you. But yes you'll need a video card (unless for some reason you bought a mobo with an integrated video card)

you done with building that damn thing?

LOL chill when I built my computer I though I was being really rough with my components but it still works. A guide that got me through building a computer is this

LOL! This thread is full of win. This is why you always double, triple, quadruple check your components before dropping 1k on a new PC. Oh yeah, and make sure you thank your mommy.chandlerr_360

I don't know what your case looks like, but you might be able to do a "Frankenstein" job and use a vertical mounting bracket for your HDD.

I had an old eMachine case I put together for my parents and the HDD was installed vertically along the front-inside of the case. It actually saved a ton of room, considering it was a mATX board/case.

Just a thought. I'd look for a HDD adjustable mounting kit or somethng like that.

why 275GTX ? if you want more power get the 4890 1GB dude it as much more power if you perform the overclock as far i know and i see :D
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130475 220$ GTx 275
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161276 4890 1GB : if you overclock 4890 1GB > 275GTX / 285GTx = more power

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/radeon-hd4890_8.html#sect0
Anyway 275GTx is Quite good too but more like a 280GTX with a small tweaking

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2009/06/09/asus-radeon-hd-4890-voltage-tweak-review/6
while 4890 1GB is Basically a 4870 improved to run at higher Frequancy :P which is why it so good for a card and that lot of peopel talk about it

just letting you know suggesiton go with w/e you can afford : I hope you enjoy ur system alot and perform overclock in future on ur core i7 920 :D

My head hurts after reading this....kinda funny stuff thought. Sorry dude :(

lol poor you daytona. if it did hurt you lol anyway : I know it sad to build a pc wtihout a video card in first place. specialyl after spend 1000$ on it
like a 1200W PSU he was probabely thinking to save until 5870 and play on some low-grade game. lol

I say if he want someting Great 4890 1GB + overclock = 189-220$ and it can be overclock tough some ver are overclock but basically you can do what they did at home in overclocked ver specially if they don't have aftermarket cooler on it (different then stock cooler)

My head hurts after reading this....kinda funny stuff thought. Sorry dude :(

I know! I woke up and was like : /facepalm

Of cource, he posts his specs (an i7): /facepalm /jelousy

This makes for a great read. Yes the first time can be a little scary, but as long s you apply even pressure straight on you would be hard pressed to break something. Bending a pin on your proc... yes that is possible lol.

As for Nvidia being better than ATI that is just speculation and fanboyism. Take it from somebody who has seen a lot of benchmarks. Most of the time, a similar priced ATI and Nvidia card perform... similarly!! There are some games that the Nvidia does better in, and some games that the ATI does better in. Buy what you want.

I ve heard Nvidia was better than ATI,i ve also heard that nvidia was a better quality GPU :S Thats why i picked nvidia over ati.
