    Yeah, I know. I just like being difficult.

    So, what's the overall plan? Just bring her back to life, or a more specific purpose?

    For some odd-ball reason, I've always liked those cases. Always thought it would make a good HTPC case.

    But if it wasn't for dumpsters, we modders would lose a major supply line!

    I'm convinced that most of the failures are from bad power supplies. That's what almost all of the HP computers I got from school had wrong with them.

    Bring it back to life, give to brother (hopefully by xmas 2011) as an in-bedroom PC.


    And to "wow" people at LAN parties.

    haXBOX is going to be my personal HTPC, and VCR-Puter is going to be family HTPC.

    Now, to get ITX MoBos from somewhere..............

    The power of picture services brings you this next update.

    And the power of my Konica Minolta brings you high-quality pictures.










    Now, to follow (and digitally edit) the paths....
    (anyone have any idea what ESUP is? I had no idea they were actually there until now.


    The tricky part is, the main board is a 4-layer PCB.


    Until next time.
