So I went ahead and bought the Rosewill RSV-S8 case that's sold on Newegg but now I'm having issues getting it installed on my Windows 7 system. Does anyone have any experience with this? My issue seems to be getting the software CD to do anything, no autorun pops up (save for the option to look through the disc contents with Windows Explorer). When I do use Explorer to look through it I eventually found a Windows Installer app, which created a "SATARAID5Manager" shortcut on my desktop - but then I hit a wall when I run that and it says "Silicon Image RAID controllers are not detected in the system. Please make sure that all controllers are installed and configured properly."
I haven't installed the PCIe slot card (Sil3132R5) they included with the case (reviewers say it's bad, my computer has it's own PCIe slots anyway)... could that be my problem, or am I missing something? Windows 7 isn't explicitly supported but I've read about people using this case on Win 7 systems without problem.
