EDIT: I just fixed it now. Seems the cables were in the wrong place although I made sure they were. It was late when I got to that point. It's all working. It's somewhat cooler but I've only had it turned on for a few minutes. The CPU fan speed is a little slow but that's probably because there's no heat issues at the moment. I have heard a sort of crackling noise but it's not a "OH SHIT IT'S GONNA BLOW" noise. Must be because the new case has a few more vents than the last, hence I can hear it more.

Anyway I'll need to head off to the computer shops next week for a rear fan. There was one in there already but it was faulty. Might consider upping my PSU to a more powerful unit.
I decided to move my computer in a new case and after completing the IDE drives are not detected so that leads me to believe:
1. The cables are duff
2. the drives are duff
3. the controllers on the mobo are duff
4. the BIOS needs an update
5. Or I put them in the wrong place.

It's like 10pm and it's too late to sort it now so I'll do it tomorrow. If there is a big problem it could mean about a week without a computer but I have a few others so I should be fine. The floppy disc is fine and the motherboard itself is tip top. As is the PSU and the drives. I think updating the BIOS should be easy if I can find a floppy disc to put the data on. My fear is the IDE controllers are busted which is a huge problem.

Generally all I did was move everything into a new case so I think I put the cables in the wrong places. No need to set jumpers and whatnot.
