    Well, I got myself an interesting predicament...

    The poweredUSB card, while it has a physical PCI slot, doesn't actually use the PCI connector. It basically uses a "double" USB 2.0 header on the top of the back half of the card.

    The case has 1 USB 2.0 front panel connector.
    The motherboard has only one USB 2.0 header.
    The PCIe slot is going to be used for the external burner box and PCIe SATA card.

    The solution I came up with was a custom USB hub that plugs and mounts directly onto the poweredUSB card... which I might need a little help designing.

    Oh, and I finally looked at the video. That arm might actually work for me! (The disk grabber, but not necessarily the whole thing...

    ...Well, this isn't exactly what I had envisioned, but it is definitely cheaper and easier:

    I do look forward to actually getting a mod like this finished!

    I was planning a wood shelf of some sort, but I couldn't quite figure out what my plans are.

    I was helping my mom with getting some things from our local Home Depot, when I saw some metal adjustable shelving. I realized that, with casters, that it would be better than what I was imagining.

    Time to fix that on the shopping list!

    Well, progress photos (yay photos!)






    I've run into one problem: the drivers for this display exist only in 32-bit Windows flavor. No 64-bit Windows, no Linux.
