ok eveything is built exept that i cant figure out how to get my Serial ATA HD in, the cords dont plug into the MB, plus how many times should i start my comp, ive heard of first boot, thats just like the CPU and fans going then plugging in the HD and the other conponents, or can i just pluf it in and start the comp?? thnx for the help. oh and i have a Asus MB if that helps. but i really need to know how this HD plugs in, i might be missing a cable but i dont think so.

I would have thought a 10k RPM HDD would be SCSI instead of Serial ATA

and i would have gone with a burner from LG or Sony or something - they are high quality

not trying to criticise

why your HDD wont plug into your mobo, since is prolly scsi, and you will need a scsi controller
