The DVD drive I got today completed the build, and here I am posting from a Knoppix boot. (BTW, Knoppix is still 32bit by default? WTF? OSS folks using old hardware FTW. Also included firefox has JS disabled by default. Weird.).
Whatevs. The machine is quiet and fast, and no problems with the RAM or anything so far. Smooth sailing.
I worried a bit that my skills were fading, but I put the machine together in under half an hour, while showing and explaining the pieces and steps to Qian’s dad. This stuff has gotten even easier than last time, though it’s wild that the vid card requires two extra power rails.
Wee. Time to go update the computer log.
