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.
