I bought 2 x 1GB sticks of Crucial Ballistix RAM from Shawty. Got the RAM, then took it to test on my rig. Booted up fine with all 4 sticks. Then decided to test with only the Ballistix. Guess what? The POST BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP of Doom struck. orz.

"Fine," I thought, "Might have seated the RAM's wrongly.", so I reseated the RAM's. POST BEEP of Doom again.

"Right, calm down.... let me try with the other slots.", so I changed the slots pairing from 1-3 to 2-4. POST BEEP of Doom again.

"Shit, this looks bad.", so I changed to the original sticks of Corsair Twin2x XMS RAM. Tried with 1-3 and 2-4. POST BEEP's of Doom again.

"Oh f-ck, not good.", so I reset the CMOS twice and tested with different set each CMOS clear. POST BEEP's of Doom again.

"Great.", so I tested the sticks INDIVIDUALLY, on each INDIVIDUAL slots.

16 POST BEEP's of Doom (4 sticks x 4 slots) later, "F*ck, this is bad. real bad.", so I asked for riku2replica's help to eliminate the RAM as the cause. All the RAM's worked fine on his PC.

Then riku2replica came over and used his working RAM to test, also POST BEEP of Doom.

"Sigh... looks like my mobo is f***ed." Called jy14 to RMA the board and he said it takes 2 weeks.

So, I disassembled my CPU and repacked my mobo. Then I thought, "Hey, might as well get a new casing while I'm at it. This casing is rather cramped because of my HD3870..." and thus, this thread was born.

If you've read till here, a million thanks for actually reading it . Please do buy it from me if you can . It is a good casing, just that I'm not satisfied with the crampedness of the HDD area with my HD3870 installed.
