    How Did Blue Become So Dominate?

    Before blue LEDs became viable mass market products, everything came with green, red or yellow/amber LED, so the first "modders" put blue LEDs into all of their stuff simply to have something "different". The industry simply took a cue from that.

    do i need a new PSU if i upgrade

    Depends on the board. Some will happily accept the 4-pin 12v connector, some require an additional molex if you don't have an 8-pin connector.

    4gigs, 3.5 shows.... 64-bit OS?

    I'd blame the board. Gigabyte even mentions it in the specs: "* Due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size is less than the stated amount."

    BFG RMA -- disappointed

    BFG RMA -- disappointed

    CPU fan Connectors

    You still get RPM readings from the 3-pin connector.

    One of two fans died...

    It's not hard, really. Keep it unplugged for a few days and avoid touching the caps while it's open.

    dual powersupply?

    You don't need to buy anything fancy if you're a little handy with electronics. The PSU powers on when the "green" cable is pulled to ground. If you use a relay you can get the second PSU to power on when you turn on the computer. Since you're intending to run hard disks off it there should be...

    Actually, that only lasted for one reboot. Back to square one.

    Radeon 9500 Pro -- just TV, no monitor?
