So...finally got my parts: 8rda+, 1700+ Tbred, slk-800, 512 corsair xms3200, leadtek GeForce 4 Ti4200 128MB 8x, WD 80GB HDD, 10 GB IBM HDD, Hitachi DVD drive, floppy drive.
And naturally, I left my Windows XP disk at home in Houston, so I'm w/o an OPsys...so I'm trying to setup linux...now, everything works to some degree, but at some point (it seems to happen at random), my keyboard stops responding (it's an infrared keyboard/mouse that plugs into the PS/2 connectors of the mobo...). It's very strange, and rather anti-climactic since I've been anticipating a functional computer for months now...any ideas out there?
btw, insane3d, thanks for that tip about removing the jumper from WD drives - my boot speed is amazingly fast now, esp. in comparison to the 3 min that it was previously taking just to detect the IDE drives....
