It was the logical thing to do.

I thought if I didn't mention it, no one would realize!

Yeah... I'm not too sure what that one is for, either. I once wired up a jack from a brocken set of headphones to a small speaker, and that only had 3 wires (Left audio, right audio and a ground), so I don't think it's too vital

[captaincurran]

ah, but this Klingon warrior is sharp! like his batleth!

[Favu]

Pst! Don't let the Vulcans here you say that!

[Marshmellin]

*head snaps up* Hm?

Most illogical thing to say, Favu. Most illogical.

[Pitch]

Your Green writing burns my eyes.

Spare a thought for us you use the Darker theme. :P

[Marshmellin]

*sighs sadly* Alright, alright. I'll stop being an individual just for you, Pitch! I hope you feel guilty, oh, yes precious, ever so guilty.

:P

[Pitch]

You can be an individual. Just a different coloured one.

[Marshmellin]

Oh, I see how this is! You are discriminatory over my greenness.

Ummhmm...

Out of curiosity, is there a color that is appropriate for all the themes?

[Gizmo]

If you don't specify a color for your font, then the system will choose the text color based on the style currently in use. The AOA Red/Gray and AOA Blue/Gray styles both use almost-white text on a medium-gray background. The AOA Neutral style (the default style) uses black text on a white background.

For reference, the AOA Red/Gray and AOA Blue/Gray styles use #C0C0C0 for the text color and #524646 for the background.

The AOA Neutral style uses #222222 for the text color and #f1f1f1 for the background.

Ohho! And a wellspring of knowledge comes forth! Thank you very much!

Only a few more kinks to iron out of the system, and everything will be splendid!

[captaincurran]

You're gonna give the Great Gizmo a swelled head!

(I hope I got that right. The syntax of Vulcan is a little different from what I'm used to! LOL)

[QSDT]

Your case mod is looking great . I'll feeling inspired to do something myself now.

Dvin t' tu dor-tor nash-veh, Gizmo.

(Sadly, Vulcan is a really..iffy language, in that it can go either way. And I would hope you're not used to that syntax!)

okay, i've swapped the power supplies long enough to attempt a OS install, but i've used a boot disk to format the HDD and then i plugged in the CD burner that came with it,

CD burner specs is:
LG CD-R/RW Drive
Model: GCE-8523B
52x24x52x

i've only got the one IDE cable in it, it's one of them fancier higher number wire cables, (Can't remeber the actual name), i'm using it on both the HDD and CD burner. I've got them properly jumpered. but when i boot it it tells me that it is not Atapi Compatable and when booted with the boot disk it doesn't see it.

[Favu]

Have you got them in the right places on the cable?

[captaincurran]

let me guess, the coloured plugs matter, eh? i had the black on the HDD, the light blue in the Burner and the darker blue in the mobo. i'll try it again later

[Favu]

Dunno about colours, but this could be useful

And if that doesn't work, just pilfer some cables from the Klingon Kase if you can, and the CD-Rom too, if you can

[captaincurran]

Well, i've ordered a new power supply that i'm getting on sunday, it's a 450watt and one of my friends is giving me at least one fan grill and various wires and hard drives. gonna see what's useful in the stuff and see what i can put into the IDICase, the rest will go in a drawer to be used at a later time.
