Thanks--chalk the ease up to the used Sony Vaio case I found being standard mid tower atx, roomy, easy, no sharp metal, nice. And the Sony card reader that came with the case was identified by Win7--so I had working mouse and keyboard. I had no working ports on the back of the motherboard itself (having forgot about the motherboard installation CD). I'll keep speedfan in mind--my bios is supposed to allow you to set the fans as whatever percentage of full power that you like, so we will see. On the Newegg motherboard feedback, I see a guy posted in March with, perhaps, my same problem "The RealTek Network Adapter/Controller was not found" same board, MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Well, I'll get to that later and see if I do better. Altogether I'll bet I didn't spend more than a couple or three hours actually doing this--but I broke it up into twenty minutes chunks over a week and did a lot of staring at all the neat bits. I suppose assembling a ten speed from the bottom up would be a bigger deal, but I had my fun.
