> i remember spending hours racking my brain over not being able to get a post and it was because i didn't bother to install the hdd activity light/pc speaker connectors and apparently that was required to get the fucking thing to post. so retarded. that stuff is pretty essential for troubleshooting. unless your mobo had it's own speakers for error codes. while things are more streamlined now, it can be a right and proper nigger getting actual information on what went wrong and how on god's green earth you are expected to fix it. i also miss compatibility on connectors, it's a hassle when you're trying to plug something in, in the dark, around a corner, blind, but it's a nightmare lacking those options when you have no other way of getting something to behave. ran into the problem hooking up my speakers recently and just have to cope and seethe my way past all the squealing interference since due to lack of outputs. better more than less when it comes to that shit, who cares how crowded the back of the box looks you know?
