If ya give me about a week, I can probably chat back and forth over forum PM or similar media to help you out. In some sense, it should be just like legos, and if the stuff fits, then it goes there. Especially for hardware more recent than 2000. Still, I could help out. By the way, if yer planning a “Frankenstein’s Monster” rig for the LAN, then I’d say heck with it, bring the thing up and I can meet ya around noon and have it together in a jiffy, but I’d have to make sure that you gots enough parts to pull it off. And thermal paste.
