And the hardware is installed. Tonight, I have completed my mother’s federal tax return preparation and then finished installing the hardware in my MythTV box.
The only tricky part has been finding somewhere to tuck all the power cords. The PSU I chose has a lot of cables attached to it, very generous compared to most power supplies. Unfortunately, I only need two of them to power the drives and front case fan – the rest are just in the way. Fortunately, I have a spare 5 1/4 drive bay that I am not using, and it’s placed perfectly to hold the cables.
Strangely, neither the motherboard (which has onboard sound) nor the DVD drive included an audio cable, so the optical drive won’t be pumping any CD audio for the time being. Good thing that’s not a big issue for me, eh?
The case now contains all the components I intend to install. The only other parts that are not connected are the mouse, keyboard, and remote control. Whew.
For photos of the progress so far, check out the gallery. Good night.
