[elky] OT: It's alive...more or less (a little progress.)

Just a quick update. The biggest problem solved so far is the installation of the Radeon VGA. The reason it didn't work is that it had to be in a different PCI Express slot. I don't think I would have figgered that out without help from tech support.
I also found out some info on the "dashboard" panel I installed in it (photo attached.) I'd figgered out all the connectors except for 3 of them that seemed to be flexible circuits of some sort. They are actually the temperature sensors themselves. They're supposed to be taped to the parts they monitor: the Hard drives, the CPU, and the motherboard. I'll get to that in a while. Right now, I'm fighting with re-flashing the firmware in the SSD and trying to get the sound card to install.

Does the motherboard need the boot drive to be connected to a
particular port?  Some motherboards require the boot drive on the #1
port.  Is the boot priority set in the BIOS?
