    I have gone subsequent to the instructions (or so I imagine) in assembling the system, additional than I am not even capable to turn it on. I do not get LED lights or no matter which, I am not certain if there's amazing wrong by means of the power supply, or if it's wired imperfectly or what. The labels on the CoolMaster are in addition rather confusing. I encompass downloaded the manual for your case (which, by the way, give the impression of being approximating a actually nice piece of equipment); if you might position a bit additional detail regarding your actual tribulations by means of it I be able to help you out; you might, on the other hand, desire to do some limited testing at the same time as 'out of the box' to check a number of the fundamental things and receiving them running before moving them to the case.
