I have heard that it will be coming out soon and I looked on their website, but it doesn't give much information on it. Do you guys know anything else about it?

Thanks!

Do you really need a little LED light to tell you that your computer is on? If you really want to have the LED on you can "snip some wires" as you say it.

My Lite-On DVD Burner won't start playing my nero essentials CD. When I installed Windows and the motherboard drivers it worked fine, but it won't play the nero CD. Please help!

(P.S. the CD is brand new and has no scratches what so ever on it)

I would recommend an Intel Quad Core Processor, not the 6000+. Also, the PSU looks OK.

What is the difference between SATA connectors and SAS connectors? Can I use a SATA connector to hook toa SAS drive?

(On Newegg, the 15,000 RPM HDD has a SAS connector and no SATA connectors, that's why I am wondering)

On Newegg, when you look at the pcture of the motherboard, the CPU power connector has a black top over half of it. What is that little black plug for?
