Nice price. Nice setup. You were able to save a lot of bucks going with that vdo card that is for sure!! Have fun with it.

[ripken204]

err 1 problem with the case and the psu, the case particularly, i have this one cable that is male that comes from the case, if i hook it up to power, the temperature sensor on the front will turn on, my problem is i cant connect it anywhere, i have no female 4-pin connectors left to connect to the 4-pin male connector. im pretty much stuck here, i tried to rearrange the cables but still stuck.

[ripken204]

i think that this is what you want

[BombaTwist]

nope not that,

i need to connect the 4-pin thing into the 4-pin on the left, its supposed to connect to power, not something connects to it. the case maual on the aspire site doesnt make any sense.

edit:

thats the picture of the cable that i need hooked up. pic from http://www.ocia.net/reviews/xplore/page3.shtml

i dont understand. the psu has a cord that looks like this

then you connect the male to that ^^ and then you have to females to plug whatever into. and isnt the temp monitor a male plug? so you can just put it into the female.

edit: this?

He needs a female to female cable. The cable coming from the case is male, and the cable coming from the PSU is male, therefore he needs to connect the cable coming from the case to the PSU. The only way to do this is to find a female to female cable.
