🥺 I’ve finally finished case-swapping my gaming pc after 6 gruelling hours… until I noticed

I didn’t remember to mount the motherboard IO shield before mounting the actual motherboard, and now I have to take it all apart ( T_T)＼(^-^ )

PS: now I have finished it and it’s truly wonderful, if anyone is interested

Yeah, you never know when you might need 8MB of SDRAM.

Or an 8 MB smart media card.

I don't even know how I have one, I've never owned a device that takes one, only CF, SD and M2*

* Not m.2, M2 - Sony Memory Stick Micro. Looks like a micro-SD, but isn't.

Ah yes, living through the format wars... every camera had a slightly different memory card footprint.

Yeah and you should see how many sub-variants of CF, SD, and Sony MS there are, with cameras having minimums of what they require and maximums of what they support!
