Second attempt at ITX + pulsar


Well i got an intel board this time, it is a DG41MJ
And a E7300 CPU. Of course i saw this SSD on special and bought it as well to see what the fuss is all about.

Everything about the board works great, it boots very fast with the SSD.

Now i find out the pulsar board itself has a problem, when scope tries there is an error, no response from DSP1. well crap, I took it out and wiggled the capacitors and tapped on it a few times and it worked once. so i replaced the power capacitors, still no luck. oh well what the hell, i put it in the freezer for a laugh. well now it is working! but i dont know how long for.

I noticed when it was not working that one of the DSP chips was getting quite hot, and now it is working they are all running cool.

Dont worry i will not be using that ugly old PSU, i intend to get this ATX power adapter with a power brick for nice quiet operation. its a bit lower in the list of priorities though.

Here is a little video of how fast the board boots up with the SSD.
