Mini/Micro Tower Case
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:33:59 +0100
I have a tallish tower case at present, two 5.25 drive bays and two 3.5
drive bays.
I want to be able to move my pc to another room and it's far too bulky for

dvdrw into please?
My mobo is an old ASRock K7S8X.

Just ordered a Microsoft Sidewinder x8 wireless gaming mouse, was just going
to get a Logitech mx518 wired mouse because of the lag issues you often get
with wireless mouses but the Sidewinder x8 has been designed from the ground

installed it in my system temporarily, I am waiting for a 2x molex to 6pin

but I just wanted to see what would happen ie would it beep or something
like I have had ...
