Great stuff Brian
what are the dimensions you have for the stand offs and screws ?, I found that the 2mm x 15mm long screws are good to use but you will have to drill the slots with a 2mm drill first, also I used some nylon stand offs similar to yours which were 8mm long on my Furia ,like these

screws are 1.6mm x 16mm (nuts obviously 1.6mm too. Gap between mobo and bottom of vampire is approx 8mm, screws fit through the holes with no drilling.

On a side note, i have to have hand surgery (again) on Monday, so i am going to try to get all of batch 2 done prior to tis, and then i am out of action for about 3 weeks. (which is about same time as the arrival of batch 3)

Excellent news you got those special size screws, and best wishes for the op buddy.

*ouch*, best wishes for recovery

All the best for your hand surgery and don't force it to do anything strenuous until its recovered and ready for some action, your health and well-being is more important in the long run

[pgovotsos]

Best wishes for your surgery kippet2k! Next time, remember that the hot end of the iron goes DOWN

Wish you a good recovery..

Mine arrived today- Midwest USA. The HDMI connector is unpopulated- is that expected!

Thanks! And very sorry to hear about the hand surgery- it's a bitch- be sure to do the (painful) physical therapy.

Thanks again!

Make sure that your DEVSOSDrivers/SD0 mountlist uses partition geometry autosense, its contents must be like this:

         Unit           = 0

         DosType        = 0x46415401
         Device         = sagasd.device

Even though this is an old thread, this info was still very hard to find and came in handy with a recent clean install of r62. Thank you.
