So I have the little motherboard I bought last week up and running in a breadboard configuration: almost literally; it's currently attached to a 12-inch piece of 1x8 with drywall screws. The power supply and disk drive are currently sitting loose on the board. The main objective of the breadboarding exercise was to do space planning for a smaller case, e.g an 8-inch cube.

RedHat 7.3 is now happily installed, and I'm now adding the Planet CCRMA audio stuff. The only problems were a bad CD-ROM drive (could have sworn I'd written a note on the bad one...) and a flaky RAM (what do you expect at $20 for 256Mb; fortunately I bought two).

We'll see how it's doing when I get home from work tonight. Then I'll install the rest of the audio stuff, and maybe wrap a few more pieces of wood around it.
