Why is the Mobo getting stuck to a bit of wood?
Because the whole case is gonna be made of wood. ;)
Just a thought about that optical drive, perhaps the sata 1.5/3.0 settings might be affecting it? or maybe something else in the bios it doesn't like?
Were it PATA I'd suggest checking the cable/item order but not sure what could happen on a sata one.
Yeah, I made sure there weren't any stupid settings in the BIOS that was causing it. Tried it on an old system (A7N8X Deluxe) which wouldn't find it but at least wouldn't lock up... and the Gigabyte EX58-UD5 which I
know supports SATA optical drives as I've got two in there right now... which locked solid. Windows wouldn't load, BIOS wouldn't respond, even reset button didn't do anything. I got quite worried that it was gonna crap the system. But when I pulled the drive, system worked flawlessly again.
Wakko he was making a case entirely out of wood.
Poor para, you just cant win on building stuff.
Yeah. I know. Shut up. :P
That being said, the i7 build went fairly painlessly. :)

Have done some more today. No pics as it was mostly sanding, which is hardly interesting. That and the fact that I was a walking monument to wood dust when I finished, and didn't fancy giving my camera a dustbath. ;)
