Well, I flipped through them at least.

You were right about the ASUS mobo manual, it's very nice. I learned a lot just by looking through it, stuff you usually never find out buying pre-built unless you learn it the hard way.

But I don't know how to fire anything up yet!

Uurgh - my eyes...
To be fair, you can only see them if you open the case. I only got them for the extra cooling, not for the lights.

Nah, find that hard to imagine.
Espacially not with the fan in the front. Harddisks don't usually get very hot.
Good to know. When I got the current machine I was on a bug about keeping things cool and not relying on so much on what came preinstalled. This case actually does have a fan in front, but I didn't know that until I got it and got in there and started tinkering with things. I think I bought the fans when I decided to pop a second drive in there.

Anyway if they're not necessary, I won't worry about whether or not they'll fit. If they do I might use them, or I can use them on whatever drive(s) end up in the old rig.

For that I will have to borrow a camera!
