Advice for new build

[TAKTAK]

And finally both eBuyer (if you spend more than £50) and Scan (when you reach 20 posts here) offer free delivery so order from both if that saves you some money

Ebuyer have scrapped their free delivery (note the influx of new users over the past few days )

i ahve got some sata cables but not right angled ones, worth the extra just in case the fit is tight?

The motherboard comes with 4 SATA cables.

And Home premium is the most suitable version of Vista to get.

i'd just buy them if you can't use the normal SATA ones.. not worth buying them if you're not gonna use them..

[moogle]

just as a slight side note that no-one else has mentioned..
will that motherboard come with any SATA cables for the OEM HD and OEM DVD drive?
if not.. maybe purchase some with your order?

Of course it does, most ASUS boards come with 2 at least. In fact most motherboards nowadays come with 2 or more.

It never needs mentioning really unless someone has an absurd amount of drives and DVD drives.

All the boards I have bought recently come with enough cables for each of the ports accept maybe the £35 ASUS one.. can't remember. As moogle says though at least 2

good good thanks guys! think i will order ready for tomorrow and get some build pics up once done!


no last bits needed far as i can see!?

As I said the manual states that it comes with 4.

and I think 2 of them are angled.

Not that it is such an issue on the P5Q-E as it has SATA ports that face front (at least 4) anyway.
