Sound card with RCA connectors, Digital Sound Processor, Midi In/out and Music creation software.  When I plug the digital piano keyboard into this, we're gonna have some fun.
	XFX Radeon HD 4890 video card.  1 gig ram onboard and built in air-cooling.  I'm not gonna use this for gaming but I'm looking forward to good throughput in photo editing as well as high-quality rendering of the images.
I'm REALLY looking forward to trying this out.  It's an OCZ 60 gig Solid State Drive.  It's gonna be home for the Operating System. The elimination of drive latency due to physical movement should really speed things up...at least as far as the OS (Windoze 7 Pro) goes. I better get this html stuff done so I can start bolting stuff together.
	Power supply installed, ready for the motherboard standoffs.  I thought I might be able to mount the PS on the high side, but there's a big ol' fan there.  I'd rather have the cooling so I mounted the PS on the bottom side.  While the instruction booklet is in a million languages and...well, it ain't gonna win a Pulitzer prize for best novel...but right on the insulation that runs under the motherboard are the locations for the standoffs for each of the 3 types of boards intended for installation in this case.  Man!  I think back to cobbling 286 systems together and the difference between then and now is unreal.  This is my first experience with a "tool-less" case and that's pretty kool, too.  Ohh.  Where the Power Supply would normally be mounted is a plate with openings for liquid cooling.  If it all goes this well, it otta be a piece a cake.
