The hardware move to the new case was time consuming but the machine seems to work. I'm not going to say it "runs well" yet -- I'll wait 72 hours. It won't get the "all clear" until I go a month without a crash with the extra 100 watts.

One thing I didn't bet on -- the motherboard move wiped my CMOS memory and all of the settings were reset. I had to tweak a few of them to get the machine working *at all* before .... and I have no idea which ones they were. That was about a year ago. The machine seems to run fine now anyway. *shrug*

So I decided to skip the RAM even though it's cheap. I don't need more RAM and I somehow convinced myself of that.

*BUZZZZ*

Crap, not again.
