- sound card not installed (i do have it, but haven't opened it yet)
- video card not installed (see above, though maybe i could hook up barry's card until mine arrives; then i could start installing OS & other software at least)
- fans not hooked up to power supply (this will take all of 30 seconds once i figure out where to plug what)
- second hard drive not installed (it's still in this computer & i don't plan to take it out until i'm ready to replace this one: i'm thinking monday or possibly tuesday)
- ????? (there could be something i'm missing or did wrong, but i can't think of it if so... we'll see what happens when i eventually power up that bad boy)
and i did it all myself, with no help from my hardware-certified brother-in-law (though i did ask him one question and might ask a couple more, or have him run an inspection once i've hooked everything up)
