    All Ordered,

    Just a quick question. The power supply that is already installed, not every wire is connected, some are just lose and aren't connecred to the motherboard or anything. Is this normal. I just want to make sure, as when I get my new power supply, I don't want to think that I haven't connected any of the wires up that need to be connected.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    As long as you have the enough cables connected then you're fine.

    Thanks for the reply

    The graphics card Is a DVI input. Will there be a converter to VGA in the box.

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I just want to confirm a few things.

    When the power supply comes, I simply take the old one out and fit the new one in. I have measured it and it will fit. I then make sure that it works and then take out the old graphics card and install the new one. I have also measured it and it is taller and longer, however it won't interfere with any cables or units. I then turn on my computer and install the new graphics card via the DVD disk provided. Roastermen replied to my earlier question, that there would be a DVI to VGA converter in the box, as my monitor output is VGA.

    Also I have noticed that the new graphics card takes up 2 slots behind my computer, whereas my current one only takes up one slot. Is this ok and will it fit into the slot ok.

    Thanks,

    Dan
