Re: Ratdude's Main Rig V4.1
She's in... but due to work today I didn't have time for pics.
But here's what I know:
-the RAM I ordered is USELESS. It's the G model, the "2 LANs" they referred to are pissant D-link cards. Good thing I still have 8GB DDR sitting.
-the front door was included but the bottom hinge on the case was broken... oh well...
-There are two newer looking SATA hdds installed.
-Lots of weird PSU adapters by the drives. IDK WTF they were thinking...
-The floppy is for show, no cable
-The coolers sorta suck, No PWM. Looks like it was made for the HP coolers I modded for V2, so I may see about getting two more of those for cheap:

I'll check to make sure they fit first... but the mounts used in this sytem are "through the board" like those, not "on the board" like the X5DA_ systems
-Some jackass stole the rear fans and swapped them for non-PWM yate loons. I'm going to see about getting replacements from SM (along with the one broken PCI latch)
-I can't find intenal USB header #2... I thought i read that these had 4 internal ports. Oh well, I may throw in my mitsumi floppy card reader combo and use an NEC USB card.
-it has a Small business server 2003 COA, if anybody wants it.
-I have no idea on getting the PCIe to unlatch.. same for removing the drives/caddies.
More (and pics) late tonight, after work. In the mean time, anybody have a use for 16GB of ECC DDR2?
