It's just right of the reset button, left of the audio jacks.

Nope. I just built it for my son.No light. (There may be on an older revision,but not on the newest revision)

I was going to say that if you're looking for a Gigabyte board with the P35, look into the GA-EP35-DS3P or DS3R

How odd.

screwballl · March 10th, 2008

as bright as the LED fans are, what use would a power light be unless you have non-LED fans installed...

theburan · March 10th, 2008

Yeah, but I don't understand why they would get rid of the hd light that it would normally have.

screwballl · March 10th, 2008

I rarely even look at the activity lights but I guess for some it would be needed....
time to break out a drill and make your own LED light spots

Do any of you know if they price match stuff with newegg.com

because if so then do you think its better off getting everything over there so just incase something does happen i can return it and possibly get a plan with all the hardware....

OR

just suck it up and get everything off newegg and call it a day

Microcenter doesn't price-match to anything. They price their stuff competitively, but ofcourse the Egg offers no tax to most areas while microcenter'll tax you. Also i've found its about 5-10 dollars more at MC than at the egg, I just got my Gigabyte board for 159.99+8.75% NY Tax, while the egg's got it for 144.99 +7.48 shipping.

Always shop around. While Newegg is cheaper on most items, Micro Center sometimes beats them and it's worth checking.

I got my case from them for only $20 after rebates and my PSU for $59.

And they're still selling the Q6600 for $199.

Those deals are too good to pass up no matter how much one likes the Egg.

yeah the Q6600 is cheapest at microcenter B&M, nowhere else comes CLOSE to it. I've bought like 4 for friends.
