Thanks Updated. We kept the 20" Monitor cause A. its a small Desk and B. He didnt want to pay the extra $40 for it cause its not like an 11 year old will care if its HDMI cable or no.

Of course this computer will be used as an HTPC cause it will be plugged into his TV via HDMI as well as his monitor with xbmc running Smile

I may buy that Monitor for myself though mine is pretty outdated haha.

Alright soo in my build you will notice I did not order an Hard Drive and that is because right now they are ridiculously priced. No worries though in my current computer I am on has 2, 250 gig hard drives one which is empty and I dont use! So I was like okay ill just throw that one in this build since I dont use it and never put anything on it.

Here is where the problem is. I unplug that 2nd hard drive from my computer and now it wont boot. I get an error during startup saying please insert your windows disc and click repair. I was like wow thats weird and trust me this was not the HD with Windows on it cause when I plugged it back in and unplugged my other one it then said please select a bootable drive to boot from.

So sounds like this is in some sort of RAID because it needs that 2nd hard drive to boot properly. So I plugged in both drives at same time and it boots right up fine. Again I unplugged 2nd one to see if it was a fluke and it no longer would boot to windows.

So right now I cant finish this build until I can figure out how to take this 2nd hard drive out and still use my current computer. I dont know how to set anything to RAID never have done it before so Idk if it is set to that or what it could be its just weird.

Anyone got any ideas on this?
