What a bummer! Nothing worse then getting a new toy and not being able to play with it. I do still have the MB that was coupled with that 3.2 (ABIT IS7-E). They both were working together a few months ago. I can't promise anything but if you want to give it a shot before you go spending more money, I can ship it to ya.

If you can part with it then please PM me for terms and conditions. The offer is greatly appreciated.
Are you planning to leave that upside down? Seems like it would give opportunity for some kind of FOD to land on important video card parts.
That is one impressive build. How much do you charge per case?

Thanks for the comments.
Yeah, its going to stay orientated like that. I like the idea of having all the I/O ports at the front. To keep the flying dust bunnies at bay I will be adding a clear acrylic cover along with (2x) 120mm Silverstone FN122 or Enermax UC-12EB case fans mounted at the back end when funds permit.
As to case building for others? I have had that thought for many moons now. It would require an investment in equipment that is way out of my reach right now. Also not sure if my Uncle would allow me to commandeer the garage to to it
F$, sorry about that. I would never have sent them to you if I knew they were junk. Real bummer. I hope we can salvage this somehow. I'll keep my eyes open at work for an old p4 mb. I have a bunch of old dell cases in the basement. I'll see if I can dig something up.
I was about to say. Make sure there's adequate airflow because the wood is going to hold heat in. We have that problem with radio racks in cabinets in airplanes.

I had forgotten about that but I had already planned (serendipitously) to seal all the wood with an epoxy filler and epoxy paint. The filler medium will help to mitigate heat transfer because it makes for a decent insulator. The epoxy itself won't help diddly with heat but will add a ton of strength and scratch/ding resistance to the wood.
Update:
The package from joker (lousy cellphone pic cuz I was too lazy to grab the camera)
So we have proof of joker's citizenship in Nerdom.... The NewEgg box! All good citizens of Nerdom shop there. (Now back to our regularly scheduled programming)
It is another day of "Good news - Bad News"
Good News: Jokers MB (Abit IS7-E) is now reunited with Jokers CPU
Bad News: The AGP slot on the MB is in a different position (Need to cut new holes for video card)
Good News: The IC7-G IO shield fits the IS7-E to a T. (Hey, I didn't know it but I'm a poet)
Bad News: The MB does not like my ECC RAM
Good News: Got the MB to POST properly (w/ATI)
Bad News: DrPop's nVidia GeForce 7300 is dead
So that was my emotional roller coaster ride for this morning...
.........(Tune in next time for more adventures in "A TechMages journey through Nerdom: The 2bit Kingdom")
Well, I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/ATI-Radeon-980.../dp/B000BATAXC sitting on my desk which I will never use, I can ship it to you if you want to save a few bucks.
Dude! That would be awesome. Aesthetically it fits Sevens looks which is totally Kool.
And again Much Gratitude. You are "Da Man" (Along with Mike029 and DrPop)
