Nightmarish stuff...

Well, I'm back on my feet again. Got a replacement motherboard, still waiting on the hard drive. The motherboard took a bit of a knock on the way here and the gigabyte heatsink came off, but I popped it back on again after chipping off the old compound.


I still haven't fixed the speakers. In fact, I was googling about, looking for a solution and this very thread came up in 9th place. I have RAID 5 now and the drive (labelled saga) is initialising for some reason. Says it'll be finished in 11 hours. What's it doing exactly?

Speakers though. How do I wire them? I have 4 wires coming out of the T7700 sub going into 3 wires that fit into the motherboard (p35c-ds3r). My best show so far has been 6 speakers sounding at once.

The final Raid insult. It'll never finish. I really shouldn't have bothered. Harsh lessons, harsh lessons.

Next time, I'm getting a single large drive. My raid card won't let me install vista.



What an almighty mess

Raid = Ridiculous assortment of intermittent disappointments.

That is why I'll never do it. Minimal gains and high risks. I may consider RAID 0 if the funds and situation can support it sometime well in the future.

Use the switch on the back of the speakers to put it in 5.1 or 6.1 to what that does. The connectors that goto the computer gave me trouble with my onboard audio as well. I think they are a proprietary Creative thing if you look at the ones for the rear and side you will notice that they are split three times, instead of the normal two.
