a bit of advice for people as dim as me,
when pluging in your new 3d card i.e a 9800 xt or any thing with a fan, make sure you plug it in to the correct power suply, it needs to be the one with 2 times the amount of wires as it now has a fan to run aswell as the hard drive....
just a bit of advise as i did not do this, and my 9800xt nearly died running at nearly 90 degrese.....
simple advise from a simple person :groovy:
