I did find information on the audio. What surprises me is that they have analog still, as an option. Perhaps non-gaming motherboards might still have very low level audio? Or is that the cpu? Or, possibly, both, with the weakest link being the deciding factor? I still can't find good information regarding the front panel i/o ports, leds, and such. Half of them I am sure about, the other half simply don't make sense. They are contrary to various sources, the manual only offers information that is explicit regarding two of the plugs (two of five) and those are contrary to how one of the others is shown in a diagram to be arranged. Huh? Yeah... Why so fussy? Some power arrangements can be backwards without a problem. Some can smoke a motherboard, and more. You can wipe a system with the wrong connections.
I keep looking. I might just give up on youtube and look for other sources, which might then, possible, have videos (from whatever source), and a more sure information set. Possibly even finding a forum that is still active. Oh, and I am finding some problems. I can't, easily, or even with the cables I currently have, connect all four ssd's. While they do fit on the bay sled, connecting power and sata cables as they are arranged... I suppose it should be possible. Or they wouldn't have designed sleds that could handle two drives, right? I suppose I could contort the power cords something fierce, but the sata cables... I am just not seeing it. I have looked on youtube for that as well. No real luck. I found someone who suggested that they were going to do it, or had done it, but didn't show how, or even show it after it was done. I, with this too, might look at sources other than youtube. Youtubes search engine seems shot. I might have to, sort of, give up on them.
Something I would suggest to youtube is... know thine enemy, and friend. And, yes, treat them differently. If someone brings you a ton of traffic, don't try to paywall them out of using you. Is it worth trying to scrape $10 out of someone's wallet when they bring you a ton of traffic? Seriously? Think about that. For the casual viewer, whatever. For free advertising that brings in many viewers? It's their call. It looks like they haven't plugged every hole, but they are getting close to it. If done, they will lose far more than they gain. I promise. I just can't pay for every service out there. Especially not the ones I keep in business through links. Choices. Consequences.
Anyway, on to a bit more work. Oh, I can probably do without the drives, of any sort, up front. I just need to check which i/o and led wires go where, toss on the video card, and see if I can get to the bios, update that, and see how it all shakes out. If that is good, I can begin arranging settings, then install the motherboard if that works. THEN get the rest of the system up and running. For the fiddly bits I will look around locally. I have enough power supply cords, it's the correct type and angle of sata cords that is the catch... and the nerve to twist-bang all of that to somehow fit.
Later.
