Now what?
While the paint was drying on the outside, I was working on the inside. The
Enlight came with a 235W power supply, and I knew that it wouldn't be enough to
meet the power requirements of this system even though it exceeds the amperage
rating for the +5 lead required by the Athlon. After all, I also had the 3 extra
fans, a slot fan, a HD cooler, CDRW, DVD, CDROM, hard drive, floppy drive...and
the lights! That electronic mess behind the front fan is a modded 250W Star PS
that also exceeds the Athlon's +5 power requirement. Oh, and did I forget to
mention the 72W peltier (the blue heatsink)? I wanted the Enlight PS to power
the mobo, & peltier. Nothing else. The Star PS would have to power the rest.
Putting it together...
The case comes apart pretty easily. 1) remove bezel. 2) slide side panel
forward. 3) remove division strip (that's what Home Depot called it. It's a
molded strip of plastic that looks like a skinny "H" when cross-sectioned. It
took me a week to find this). This strip of plastic is what seals the seam
between the main piece and the side panel. 4)lift out side panel. done.
