! Sounds like I need to either find a smaller
PowerSupply, or
! else I'm going to have to have it external to the system
! (which I don't want).
What about taking the power supply out of the metal case? (Re)build a power
supply to fit? Also, I have seen some pretty small ATX power supplies. about
1/2 to 2/3 the size of an AT PSU...
If I don't find a smaller PS tomorrow, that's probably what I'll do. The
thing is I'd kind of like to keep the one I have intact to use for something
else.
On a positive note, yesterday I tracked the system freezes down to 'kdm'
(the KDE version of xdm) and then discovered there was also a daily cronjob
set to run at 12:15am that would also lock up the system. So I've corrected
those problems (removed them actually since I don't have any use for either)
and now have the board running happily with only a HD and Monitor plugged in
(and I don't see any problem disconnecting the monitor, if nothing else I've
got a plug I can stick in to make it think it still has one).
So, I'm down to needing to get a VT100 out of storage tomorrow if I can find
the time.
