Please help me build my new computer, DC!

Go to the Device Manager and check the properties of the internal hub(s) - you should see the maximum load and metering there.
You should have enough power though ... what are actually connecting that isn't self powered?

I'll do that. I don't think it's a matter of the devices needing power, they're little things like my cell phone and mp3 player. There's a problem somewhere, I'm just trying to find it.

I have posted the introduction to my series dedicated to building this computer. Thanks for all your help!
Of course, you can always see the feature article on the main page:

I posted the first two parts of my articles about building this computer:

I know some of you may be wondering if I'm a hypocrite. Earlier in this thread, I yelled all the people who wrote multi-part articles for their hardware reviews, and I vowed that my article would be a single page. And here I am with my multi-part article. Here's the explanation, first, my article would be way too long as one page, like borderline insane. The ones I was complaining about had about as much text as this post on each page. I think they do it for more clicks are to stick more advertisements, since 80% of the page is advertisements. So my article is not the same. I've made mine long enough to read comfortably, but not so long where you lose interest halfway through.
Also, this allows me to write at a more comfortable pace. I don't have to have the entire article written before I post it.
So, hopefully, I'm not that much of a hypocrite.

That sounds kinda like PC Magazine or Extreme Tech reviews ;D. Real hardware review sites are much more comprehensive, and they really need multipage articles considering the amount of text and graphs they can include in them.

Not in the least.
It's not a bad thing to go multi-page if the subject matter naturally breaks that way, or you're publishing a multi-step or journal type article.
It's only annoying when they make you change pages every third paragraph for no other reason than to avoid having all those paid ads and banners scroll up off the screen.
Fear not "Ben's son." We know your heart is pure. :-*
