After some delay with UPS at my request, and some confusion that UPS caused... yet made up for when I got home yesterday...

My new rig arrived!  Yes, I bought the parts for another computer.  It's an AMD Athlon 64 X2 based system which now requires the Biostar mobo to be taken out and shot -- I'm going to switch it to a Gigabyte board after two weeks.  It's running now, and compiling up KDE.  I'll be transferring some stuff there too, as this rig, redwolf, is replacing tygris.

"Wait a min, you fuzzball." You'll say. "redwolf is a laptop!"

Actually, no.  I bought sandra (Dell Inspiron E1505) to replace the old HP Omnibook 6000 named redwolf.  The name's been sleeping as the laptop's been given to my sister.  So, tygris is the next to pop out.

The 24-pin power connector is against the USB/Ethernet/Serial/keyboard/mouse ports, which causes the power cords to cross across the CPU area as well as the monster AM2 heatsink I have on there. If I don't arrange it correctly the fan turns into an circular saw. Same for any other power cords.
Even more annoying with some recent Pentium fans that have virtually no guard on them to keep cables away from the fan blades - which I have to deal with routinely, so I sympathize.
