gotta adjust them for slack, wiggle the nuts into the channel, and tighten (some bar ends have holes for through-tightening the round headed endcap screws that slide into the channels, you will notice those on the cut ends of some parts).
I left all screws in their respective locations for easy reassembly (hopefully). Even with Spotswood's directions; it took me a bit to get that frame assembled; and it was accomplished by skewing from the directions slightly to be honest.
I believe when I photographed it, I took the photos of the parts disassembled but in the places/zones they came from.
When running many cards before, I used a coolmax 1600w PSU alongside that one.... it had more a bunch more PCIE connectors and cables on it.... but for the longest time that thing was doing low power mining and early XMR mining and only ran it with that PSU.
On the 1.0 board, the edge connectors (black PATA/SATA power cable) are the 12V source for each of the PCIE slot zones. I never needed to populate the final SATA plug at the end from what I remember. I believe it and the one before it serve power to 3 of (or the 4) 1x connectors. I kinda forget exactly.
I guess it all depends on how you are running the rig, how much power you are going to feed what kind of cards ultimately.
Also; a VERY smooth transaction for future note; Both buyer and escrow. Thanks again =)
Thank you for the thoughts, I appreciate your time and I agree, super smooth and easy purchase.
I will take another look at everything here shortly and hopefully have no more questions.
Thanks!
