How did you get around the usb problem DJ?

There are a shitload of connections on the back, I just plugged into the USB 3.0 instead of the normal ones above it lol, but now I have the drivers in Windows 7 Pro 64 for the USB 3.0 so I probably could switch back now if I wanted, they just were not installed at the start.

That's good, I would save the USB 3 ports for something that needs the bandwidth, like external drives etc.. don't waste them on things like keyboard and mouse.. :)

BTW, especially HDDs on USB3, the most common problem getting them to work is chipset incompatibility - the USB3 chipset on the mobo is not working quite right with the USB3 chipset in the drive case/dock. Secondly, USB3 requires more electrical power than USB2 for the same drive, so if drives don't seem to power up or are not detecting properly on USB3, try a shorter USB3 cable or a additional power source.. Just FYI in future..
