Thanks guys... yeah this is for a work computer... one of my guys is in need of a new PC badly, and we want to go Win7 64 bit. We've got two of these here that someone else built, but ima try it myself.

Graphics wise, we're sticking his Geforce FX3700 card he's already got with an Acer monitor for 3D stereo viewing (we do 3D mapping) so that's already taken care of. Putting 16GB of RAM in it too to be able to deal with large images and LiDAR data sets.

Hopefully I can put it together... stuff's supposed to be here today.

Yeah it's an H7... got all the parts from Newegg...

Here's the case...

Put an Intel i7-950 quad core 3.06Ghz and 16 GB of DDR3 in it with a 2GB SATA 6.0Gb/s HDD.

Should be a hot system if I can get it to run... it's installing Win7 64-bit now... so at least it powered up...

Surprised at how quickly it all went together...

The only problem so far is that the CD eject button isn't working? If I pry the case lid open and hit the drive eject, it works... maybe that button hasn't been activated for some reason? Any ideas?

When I got my bluray burner I had this issue, take the drive out and look at the back side of the case button. There should be a sliding "button pusher" on the other side that affects where the strike point is. Fuss with it until it hits the disc drive eject button.

At least that is if yours is like mine. It's a mechanical piece that pushes the drive's eject button, not an electrical button. If your drive's button does not line up with the case's button at all, you may need to try a different drive.

Cool I'll try that...

I did a work around with a desktop gadget that ejects the disc... software solution ftw!

I can't believe it but the damn thing is purring like a kitten... put the Geforce FX in it and got all the software and stereo imagery working. I impressed myself... but it was really as easy as u said.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
