Moved mobo and cards to new Antec P180 case

Installed new fanless SilverStone SST-ST30NF (st30nf) power supply.

Lower compartment fan holder was broken in transit. Installed the quieter top exhaust fan in the lower compartment with fan sticks (soft plastic/silicon "screws") instead of fan screws. Installed hard drive in lower drive cage (quieter than using top cage). Need to get HVAC tape to seal up openings: Top exhaust blowhole and rear grating for VGA air channel intake (I'm not using the black plastic vga/video card air channel thingy).

Did not install floppy, used slot for external 3.5" drive (floppy) for shoving the "cable nest" (extra cable lengths) into. You can't leave cables in the lower compartment cuz it will restrict airflow.

Moved DVD drive to MASTER on secondary IDE (was slave on primary ide). So, now its /dev/hdc instead of /dev/hdb. Updated myth settings.
