well, just got  my case ready to be primed/painted.

Of course, we didn't have any black paint on hand, nor any primer. But still, it's all ready to go.
Looks like my system will be staying like this for a while....

Also, a question for someone knowledgeable in electronics.....
I have two of these 60mm fans in my case:
https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/100_1034.jpg
These are just the stock fans that came with the Tt Lanbox.
My question is: can I cut off the moles cable, and solder on a 3-pin connector so I can attach the fans directly to the motherboard? Will it draw too much power, or too little?
It says on the back "DC 12V        0.12A" if that helps.

Should be just fine. I hate how little fans like that have such a HUGE middle portion and only tiny fins... such a stupid design imo

I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, that it is the measurement of each of your processor's cores. You do have a quad core correct?

Wouldn't it show 4 readings then?

And he has a dual core

temp #3 is null (no sensor, or no input)
temp #2 or #1 is ambient, likely on the MB - the other probably the PSU

Yeah. It should obviously be formatted to ext4
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

My brother came in the other day saying his friends USB drive was broken.

It was a 16gb one, and it supposedly didnt fit a 5gb ISO. FAT32 :thumbsup:

Am I correct in assuming thats because NTFS has issues with Macs? (that WD etc format their drives with FAT32).

Just finished painting my case.

https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/black1.jpg

I know the painting may look a bit shoddy and patchy, but the paint is really glossy and reflects the light/grey newspaper. It looks much better IRL.

https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/black2.jpg

I'm going to have a look at it this morning. I've already got two coats on it, I don't think I'll need any more.
Stay tuned for a completed setup pic.

FAT32 single file size limitation is just under 4GB.

Barring third-party drivers, Macs can only read NTFS.

Yeh, I knew about the 4gb file size thing. Hence my :thumbsup: to FAT32 for not allowing me to put a 5gb ISO on the flash drive.

Macs cant read FAT32? What the shits the point in making them FAT32 then, who uses that anymore?

No.  Mac's can read/write FAT32.  They can only read NTFS.  They can't write NTFS.

This. MacFUSE + NTFS-3G = write to NTFS
