I managed to find the usb ones. I think some are for LEDs which I don't care about. There are two for he GPU that are the exact same, but I don't know which goes where.
Once the GPU is sorted out, I think I'll be okay. But I also misplaced my PCI cable so I can't do anything with it anyways, and it does not have HDMI ports

@An0n the only really necessary ones are power and reset. assuming you're just talking about the bundle of two-wire connectors for the front panel and not everything inside the case.

For those folks looking for programmable or or other devices that are easily customized, I recommend Phidgets. A 🇨🇦 company, based in , , that has been around for about 20 years.

I have used it for sensor projects (heat and humidity) and a fun project.

Huge library of projects available in a lot of languages (C, C#, Python, Java, and more).

Lots of online support. Most devices are backwards compatible, but there have been new standards (e.g. RFID) which require reader up grades. Well made, inexpenaive.

Wouldn’t it be nice to enhance your PC’s performance “with just one click?” Microsoft's PC Manager is a single, streamlined utility app that collects all of Windows’ performance optimization settings. So, how’s it work? @’s Michael Muchmore took it for a spin:

After uploading this to my Google business page gallery, it got rejected (see 2nd image). 😆

A Google content violation notice, regarding a cartoon-style 3D character resembling an old PC. It prints a poo emoji on a sheet of paper coming out of its backside.

The Chinese startup DeepSeek's release of a highly competitive AI chatbot early in 2025 was immediately likened to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957, but is China really closing the gap with the West? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/23/world/china-ai-industrial-revolution/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon
