i have a cooler master 690 and 3 fans come with the case, and the fans also come with some power connectors. in fact, the fan cable comes out of the fan, attaches to the power connector and then there is another power connector attached to that!!!

do i just connect one of the power connectors or BOTH????

---------------------------------------------------------------------

my new build is nearly complete and i was about to hook up my older CD / DVD burner to the new rig and just noticed that the mobo (asus p6t deluxe WS pro) does NOT have a IDE connector :mad: so how can i hook up my cd/dvd burner? am i screwed??
could i take the cd-burner out of my laptop and use that?
do cd-burners now use USB or SATA?
options please?????
is it possible to install an OS with a USB stick???? thats all i really want to do to be honest as i NEVER use the CD / DVD burner.
ps, originally i had ordered the asus p6t deluxe v2 board but the shipper was out of stock and replaced it with the WS pro. i thought it was all good until just NOW when i realized no IDE SUPPORT :mad:
 
You can install Win7 using a USB stick. google for guides for the same.

THe extra power connector is provided in case you wish to daisy chain additional devices to the fan.
 
how about VISTA ULTIMATE 64 bit? possible on USB stick?

thanks for the fan info, i'll just connect one power to it then :)

-------------------------------------------------

no worries, got it on google, reading now, thanks mate!!
 
have found a few tutorials on how to install VISTA using a USB stick but each tutorial says you need to already have VISTA installed or for it to work :(

i'm on winXP Pro SP3 and would like to do the same thing...any ideas?

ps, if no one knows, i'll get a sata burner tomorrow....but thats tomorrow....let's sort this out now :)
 
Did you check the above article? You dont need an an existing Vista installation. You just need the Vista DVD and the tools required to create the partition etc are there in Win XP too.
 
yeah, i read it, checked it and tried a few times.

those instructions are written for a VISTA computer as apparently in XP dos will not list the USB Stick as a disk. in my case, it should be disk 4 but only disk 0 to disk 3 show up :(
