Oh, did you get the H100 hooked up correctly and figure out the molex issue? I don't know how the H100 hooks up... did it allow for connecting something into the CPUFAN header on the board?

Also make sure the board's clean... no loose screws laying around etc

Lower right of board You'll see that USB 3.0 isn't plugged in what happened that I bent 2 or 3 pins and I have this weird adapter thing that said USB 3.0 I plugged it in with what came with the case and it fit so I plugged it into the regular usb 2.0

That 18pin connector on the PSU doesn't look quite straight... see if you can push the left side in a bit more.

Bent pins aren't a good thing :??:

edit: adapter from... usb3 to usb2? Where did that come from, the case?

Oh, ok.

Personally, I think I'd plug it in, flip the switch on the back of the PSU, and hit the rig's powerswitch... and see what happens, lol. But that's just me, lol... I'd also ensure to have TV, mouse, and keyboard hooked up. Assuming it boots up, don't just exit bios... SATA has to be set to AHCI before installing win.

"It's time"... you're making it sound like you're taking a prisoner from his cell to the execution chamber lol

Check the manual for any LED status messages you may see.
It seems the 500R doesn't come with a speaker, so there won't be any beeps.
Ensure the fans are running.

As per manual, don't plug anything into any USB3 ports. Only once Windows is installed.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with having it hooked up to the tv. You certainly wouldn't be the first one... I think quite a few people have their rigs hooked up to TVs as their primary display for gaming.

Lol xD

Ok, so I still haven't found it on the TV but, there is one Green LED on the bottom which means........Standby Power Led
It says "The green LED lights up yo indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode" Wtf does that mean?!?
