This is probably a dumb nOOb question, but this is driving me nuts:
I'm trying to install the front-mounted firewire port of my Antec Plus1080AMG case to my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mobo. The Asus manual says I need eight pins, but the Antec lead only has six. The data cables TPA0+, TPA0-, TPB0+, and TPB0- are easy enough to match up. I only have one grounding wire off the port, which I can simply attach to any of the three ground pins. However, the mobo has two +12V pins while the case's port has only one. Does it make any difference as to which +12V pin I put this on? Will the presence of only one power lead make less power available to the port? I feel like I've been put into a round room and told to sit in the corner...
Connecting the front-mounted USB ports onto the USB78 pins was a snap! Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the Antec ports are USB2.0? I can't locate this in any of the literature.
In case anyone's curious, here's what I'm putting into this new system. (My old 900MHz Athlon went nuts recently.):
Antec Plus1080AMG case with optional front fans
Antec 430W ATX 12V TruePower
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB
Corsair TWINX1024-3200LLPT 1GB DDR400 (x2)
BMG Tech GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB
Philips PSC706 Acoustic Edge
Maxtor DM+9 6Y080M0 80GB SATA (x2)
Samsung SC-152 and SM-352
Philips 109B 19" CRT
I'll be shopping around for a new GPU, and keeping an eye out for the new Philips PSC805 Aurilium.
My first computer was an AppleIIGS clocked at a whopping 2.8MHz!
I'm assembling the new computer completely in the nude so as to avoid electrical buildup from clothing. I'll be sure to post how things go, and I'll be sure to install my fan guards right away!
