Thanks Peter.

Only had 1 hitch in the build though... Hooked up the F_panel connector wrong, so the comp wouldn't boot. Couldn't figure out what it was (I was sure I double checked the f_panel anyway), so I ended up taking the entire mobo out again, and trying to boot outside of the case...still didn't work, so just when I was thinking that it was a bad mobo, I decided to check the f_panel again... Needless to say, I felt quite stupid after that, lol.

Lol, I hooked up the Power LED to the Power switch, and vice versa... I was wondering why the front LED was on all the time when I plugged it in, but it never donned on me that it was hooked up to the power pins (always on) lol.

Haha yeah...I hope so at least. I coulda swore I didn't see the 'LED' part on the power LED hookups though...guess I was just in too much of a hurry.
