U4EA,
The reason for this is that I don't live in any large city were you can "just" go right into the next shop to get what you might have missed. So, I am pretty much forced to plan it out carefully. Ironically, one cable was wrong, (USB cable to the USB hub needs a Mini-USB socket, was not mentioned in the info sheets), and I needed an additional patch cable (Ethernet).
The other more important reason is that I normally do not look into hardware that much - the last time was about 8 years ago - thus the help from foo and obsidian was invaluable to me, to find the hardware that is "current", has "future potential", and is "affordable".
Presently waiting for the mainboard... hopefully I'll get it in the next few days. I'll post some more shots once I have built everything into the tower.
BTW: I am trying to set up the PC on a 5m "leash" from my Monitor, so that I can basically roll it into the next room, and "shut" the door on any noise.
