    Chietec Case Front Panel Wiring

    ok, the mobo directions say that getting the LED wrong won't hurt, but it said getting the switches wrong will! Are you positive, lol? Also, for the front USB, I have an extra single pin connector for ground, but the one place where it could go in the instructions it says NC (no connector I...

    Chietec Case Front Panel Wiring

    Hey, I have a 3-year-old Chieftec chassis, and want to be sure before I turn it on. The wires are all labelled, but I am not sure which way they go (polarity). The wires all have an arrow on one side, and something like KSP printed in front of it. I would assume that the arrow indicates +...

    Building Wiring Fault= Destroyed PSU?

    Here's my story... Moved to new apartment... Plugged in surge protector, Building wiring fault light comes on. So I hook up my computer anyway (like a retard). It acts fine for a while, then starts acting goofy. HDs start to make loud noises, as does the CD Burner I had in there. Reboot...
