I'm trying to find a drive to unplug so that I can use the video plug setup.

I can't find one......they are not plugged into mother board right??? I really don't see where there are the same type of plugs as the video plugs. I see a band with a plug on the end...can you guide me??

I sure hope Halo is really good....all this work.

yeah, if those are the kind of plugs (what Mark circled in green above), then thats what you need. i think originally the new line of Radeons required a 12v lead with the same kinf od connector that plugs into your floppy drive, but i think they have since either changed that or supply an adapter.

you may or may not have an extra power lead from your power supply. if you don;t, i would buy a Y-connector and run 2 drives off the same lead (rather than sharing the lead to your Radeon with another device).

Hey mark, what did you use to tape down your wires? Damn your CPu has NO clutter whatsoever. Mine looks like a jungle on the inside, even with the rounded cables. Did ya just use electrical tape?

i have a whole bunch of yellow cables i got for cheap, some i have dyed black in another case.

all it takes is some time to fold them so they stay the way you want them to run and they will stay put.

It's not that hard, just spend some time tidying it. Cut out extra outlets that you don't need from the psu. Fold the ata cables and such...

Just takes a lil time to trim it all.

The PSU wires are most of my clutter, and they are all being used. I was thinking of just using some super glue to glue it out of the way.

Use Ties.

Those things are magical.
