Big Al's CarPC Build

Not yet

Well, it turns out I ordered the wrong memory, and it isn't compatible. After checking the compatibility list in the manual, I found the G.Skill Ripjaws at Amazon that looks to get good reviews. I could have bought it $10 cheaper at Newegg, but with Amazon Prime, it will get here Sunday (as opposed to Newegg's lame-assed FedEx Smartpost, which would get it here some time in August ).

So, the new memory worked and the PC is working on the bench. The tiny case I was using was just way too tight, so I went with a larger case. It's about 4x the size, but gives me a LOT more room to run stuff and it should run cooler also. Here it is with a temporary 120v ITX power supply.







I also got the replacement ribbon cable in and it works like a charm. I fabbed up an angle bracket to mount the control board at a 90º angle so the cables come straight out the back and to also give support to the cables.





Here's a couple of crappy night time pics of it in use

Will the larger case fit your build as well.
