Which way do you prefer movies be censored on cable? Cutting out the sound or replacing the original dialogue with another/other word(s) (i.e. "darn smelly fools")?
The 9800GTX covers up the floppy port I noticed so I'll have to move the card or something. But if you do SLi or triple SLi does that just mean you can't use the floppy port?
Also, does it matter which way you put in the front panel LED cords in? The P182 case came with a 3 pinhole cord and the mobo only have two. If I put it in, it'd be in the way of another pin. So, I took one of the pins out and moved it to the center slot. Thing is, the slot with the small arrow on it is empty (where I think I'm supposed to push it into the + pin in the manual) and I can't change that or it'll be in the way again.
Finally, do you need to install a chipset fan? I noticed the video card was in the way of the chipset heatsink. And how's that work if you have triple SLi again? Thanks!
Depends on how important sound is to you. If you listen to a lot of music, watch movies, and like playing your music loud, those are some reasons you'd want a sound card. If you play games here or there and whatnot then it's best to use the mobo's sound and save some money.
[QUOTE="animemog"]FYI, eVGA's 9800GTX measurements were off and I found out it doesn't fit in the P182 without removing the top HDD bay. So much for the 120mm I ordered. :(Wesker776
Why on earth didn't you buy a full tower case?
High end graphics cards pretty much make full tower cases a must nowadays.
EDIT: You're a member of the CBPCU, you can ask us for advice whenever.
I prefer more quiet. Also, it's no big deal. I just wasn't expecting the card not to fit. :o

Okay, thanks. Last thing was I noticed on my board, there wasn't a standoff where one of the holes is. Do I have to put a standoff there or is it okay to leave one of them empty?
