Board that took 6months to get here...

[Jason425]

So I finally recieved the mobo I won in that contest during the last ice age... Had it come a week earlier, I wouldn't be out The $80 I spent on another board...

It wasn't in a static bag and the HSF bracket wasn't installed (I installed it be4 the pic)... I am not so sure it'll work.. Pics are attached.

I'm gonna install this tonight or tomorrow, fire it up and see if it can put out.
(if the old asus board didn't fry my bro's chip...)

(DFI Board I had to buy is on the bottom, and it'll prob be for sale soon, so if you're interested, lmk.. [yes it's the good one])

[Jason425]

double post....

I built the system.. here's a pic.. now let's see if I can get windows installed!


Comments so far: Placement of things on the board is nearly perfect.. best i've ever seen...

[Jason425]

Triple post... eat it..

Like I somewhat feared, it won't post... The lackluster packaging (no static bag...), or perhaps taking a beating in lousy USPS trucks (with on padding) killed the board.. it will turn on, but I get no display.. I tried everything, but alas, nothing...

A big thumbs up to a waste of the other Jason's time, money, effort and my time, effort and frustration...

Remind me to sign up for another one of those contests...

edti: oh look, a board that works! (the dfi) what a wonder anti static bags are!

Why don't you send me the broken useless board then...

[StinkyMojo]

or me

[vee_ess]

Stinky, trust me, you don't want it; it's apparently useless!

lol... why do you want it then?

Jason425, did you read the instructions when you set it up? cause if you didn't, i would do that. if you have, check all the jumpers and dip's to see if they are all in the correct positions.

I think he knows what he's doing...or does he?!?!?

[StinkyMojo]

we all know why we want it: RMA

[Jason425]

who are you going to RMA it to?

It went from whoever TWL got it from, to Jason Jacobs, to me... I doubt it came from a store.. more likely the company giving it away for promotional purposes..

If you really do want it though, gimme $25 in paypal for trouble and s/h and it's yours..

It does turn on, but no picture... and I did the exact same thing i do with every mobo.. who knows, maybe I missed something and it'll work for you...
