Dear Ed,
Only a tiny gripe, and really only posted to help others.
I have been building a PC based on your articles, and purchased the K7S5A mainboard, etc. Everthing was going well until I came to connect the Power LED from the case to the mainboard - it fits over 3 pins, and the mainboard only has 2!
After a lot of searching on the web, and after contacting tech support at ECS, I finally found that I need to cut the 3 into 2 separate ones, and connect them individually.
Surely, you should have mentioned this in your article (or perhaps in the next magazine)?
Anyway, many thanks for the series, and great magazine.
Dave Harris

I have had this problem quite a few times aswell. What I do is swap the wires from the Power LED connector (3 slot connector)to the Power Button connector (2 slot connector). This allows you to leave the blank in without cutting through the connector, which you can position over the blank pin space on the motherboard.
