Yes, that’s right folks. I’ve have been slacking on the job of updating this site thanks to Mr. Mini-itx. My EPIA-800 and its 1U case came two days ago and I have done nothing but work on it.

The first issue was that the SuperMicro case had a SuperMicro specific cable for the reset, on/off, power LED, and HDD LED. I said okay, no big deal, I’ll just run the wires by hand. I open up the mini-itx box, pull out the directions and low and behold, they don’t have the correct pin diagrams on them. So in other words, me and the multimeter became friends for a few hours. To make a long story short, I need to get a PCI riser and install an OS on it, and it’ll be done. I have taken plenty of pics thanks to all the time I spent on it, so hopefully the project page I add for it will do it justice.

Looks like I’m heading off to the Cincinnati Outdoors and Boat show tomorrow afternoon, so the site may not get it’s almost daily update. :/ In other news, I found out what I’m trying this summer: Polyphasic Sleep with the uberman sleep schedule.
