I'm still confused why we're getting a NIC card here.
"My new mother board ( ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard )"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131339&Tpk=ASUS%20M3A79-T%20Deluxe

Onboard LAN
LAN Chipset    Marvell 88E8056
Max LAN Speed    10/100/1000Mbps

Yeah.. I knew that.. this was just an exercise in discussion.. yeah that's it.. :O :huh :aok

Are you saying that your PSU is at the bottom?

Yep.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that is kinda dumb.

Last time I checked, heat rises.  So the heat gets to radiate up through everything else?

Kinda hard to evacuate the heat efficiently that way.

Two fans at the top draw everything out.  Its a 1000watt power supply also.

Also, I cannot get my IDE hard drive to work.  If I plug it in with my IDE CDR/DVD player in series using the CDR/DVD as the master the system assumes it is the master drive (even though I have it jumpered as a slave) and ignores my SATA hard drive.  Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried setting everything as cable select?

Yeah I did.  I think I found out what is wrong from a buddy here at work.  I need to connect the SATA drive to SATA 1 on the motherboard, I had just hooked it up and moved on, its on SATA 2 now.

Still didn't work.  I removed the jumper from the IDE drive and it is in the slave position on the cable with the DVD/CDR in the master... still recognizes the IDE drive as the master for booting which does not work considering that its not got winders on it.

Did you tell the BIOS to use  the SATA as the boot device?

Von, I can find PCI 2.0 sound cards but not PCI express.

Creative makes an X-FI Extreme audio PCI-Express sound card and a Fatality version in PCI-Express.  Keep in mind that the Extreme Audio is not really a true X-FI but it does well in game.  I am running an Asus M3A32MVP Deluxe motherboard with ATI crossfie enabled, same specs.  I am also running a PCI Network card (Killer K1).  Just make sure you disable the onboard sound and Lan.  Oh and the Extreme Audio PCI-E card ran me about 45 bucks two months ago.

All the Best...
