Argggghhhh!
I have become a case modder by necessity. The ten bay full tower monstrosity? Has no holes for the video connectors. Nada. There's a great long depression down the side of the back where it ought to be, as if it's been punched but not hard enough.
No problems.
*breaks out Dremel*
*cuts part of slot*
*goes to Home Depot and buys a twenty pack of cutting disks*
*cuts rest of slot*
*smooths edges with sandpaper drum 'till they're satiny*
*discovers that case's original builders didn't do that with the original edges*
*discovers how hard it is to keep pressure on a cut on the back of one hand while peeling a Band-Aid with the other*
Now, if the fan out of the ten year old HP fits as is, I won't have to mod any more :-)
Oh, and the new 'puter now has a name: Brontoserver. Yeah, I know, too silly to be.
*reconsiders*
And the video card is here. Soon, my precious, very, very soon....
No problems.
