I’ll start by letting you know how it went, as this beautiful day was originally scheduled for last Tuesday…

after assembly the box didn’t start. just 0.5s of light, minor movement on the CPU fan, then dark. need to disconnect/reconnect power to repeat as power button is without function after first press.

removing basically everything but ram/CPU did not help, so taking out the CPU;

don’t believe that normally only most pads are gold covered 😭

and I had cachyOS already on my USB… new hardware is scheduled for tomorrow.

sorry to abuse your request to whine about that :D

I’m sooo looking forward to ditch Windows on my gaming station - tomorrow is the day! yay! (on linux for decades, but current gaming station is from 2017 when gaming on linux wasn’t that much enjoyable…)

🐈😱

So I don’t think it’s happening.
