Way too much time has passed since Detectron component arrival without testing that the ordered components actually work and add up to a computer. In this post, everything is hooked up for a quick test-boot or two. In this Frankensteinian construction, a rubber band was used to attach the chassifan to a piece of wood, that also got the honor of balancing the harddrive.
Since the case is yet to be done, one very important thing is missing: the power button. A power button for a modern computer is however nothing more than a fancy way of closing a circuit for half a second, or however long you take to push it. Thus, a power button can easily be faked by for example a screwdriver briefly touching the correct two pins on the motherboard. Yeah!
Beeeep.
Happy Detectron owner! While showing the boot setup, the Detectron fans did not make a sound, and CPU temperature was at a steady 33
°C.
