Browse All TopicsI recently bought all parts for a new computer I am going to build, however I have a few questions regarding this. The case I am using is from an old amd-k6 2 processor/motherboard. It is of the ATX form factor. Would I be able to use this case on my new setup? Regarding the switch on the case, is there a switch that comes with the new power supply, or do I have to solder it to the new power supply? And finally, my motherboard supports Serial ATA devices at 100 but the hard drive i am buying is at ata150, will it work? Also, is there anything else that I could have overlooked when I bought these things, as well as any advice/ideas. Thanks in advance.
