Some of that plastic wrap coating for the aluminum would protect from scratches in assembly.
Mercury so only one PCIE-6 plug protruding.
T-20 torx was noted as the screw size and is so.
Wow, my PCI-E-4 lead must be wrong. The PCI-e 4 lead has yellow to the clip side while a PCI-E-6 video card testing cable has ground to clip side. I just tested ground between the center two pins of the Molex 4 pin connector and the PCI-E-6 and found the ground on the clip side of the PCI-E-6 as found on the video card test cable. Good thing I checked. Also, the 12v of the Molex 4 is not common with the 12v of the PCI-E-6.
Okay all up and running. Somehow the password was missing a digit and that probably explains why there was no indication of testing on Slush. So, the IP address wasn't showing up on linux arp -a so I went to my router and checked the DHCP table and there it was.
So, changed the password and restarted.
