hey joe
another very helpful person suggested its probally the power supply and
being as i only have a 300w that is very likely.
currently im running only one case fan a 5.25 dual fan cooler from the front
blowing out, im hoping i can switch the fans on the front to blow in then
install a 80mm fan on the back to blow out.. i will look into the round data
cable suggestion ( i didnt even know they made such a thing :P) because my
case is pretty much a cramped mess of metal and wires :)
thank you for your advice
Matt Butler
