when i hit ALT F2 it isn't doing nothing, it's just loading up the pc regularly.. i don't have a damn floppy.. i do, but i can't get it to work... i don't know which wire to plug into it, it's a small 4 pin female that has to go into the floppy? does this come from the Enermax or was it supposed to come with one?

Is THG Slightly Slacking??

Yep... floppies use a 4 pin female connector right off your power supply unit. You should notice one on a combined breakout on one of the PSU branches.

What exactly are you trying to do?

ok i got the floppy thing working, the power cable was right, it was the cable that was reversed..

i got that alt + f2 thing to work also, i didn't have the Update utility installed.

You can overclock your hard drive by taking thepower connector for floppy and sticking it where there r extra pins on the hdd! U hear it start to spin really fast and then it dies. hehe.
