Dang! Well I swear I had just published the last post when the Men in Brown knocked at the front door! The package had '26 lbs' scribbled all over it, so I knew it had to be the case...
Brand new, rejected by Dell because of minor 'dings' but... I am fine with that! Check out the front of that thing! Your media PC now doubles as a shaving mirror! I have never seen so much gloss plastic before. The gaping hole is where the card reader and the TV tuner's media ports go. Simply stunning! Well, lets assemble this thing!
Wow, what a humble start. This case came with the standard 375 Watt power supply, seen there on the top right. Cables, brackets, and fans dangle everywhere. Really though its nothing more than a puzzle. Cables are color-coded and only fit in one place. Here we go!
It is a tight fit, sometimes much tighter than any custom-built PC I have ever made. Once the mobo is seated and secured in place, its just a matter of matching where things go. I have never owned or seen the inside of one of these, but by observation it is painfully apparent where everything goes. Unless you were the kid who tried to fit the square block through the circular hole, you could easily do the same. A few more cables and screws and....
TaDa! We are finished for tonight. Now we wait, for the processor and RAM, which I recon will be arriving Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Stay close though... I got lots of stuff for here besides parts! Be back soon!
