Installing boards. All hardware and metal RF tins get polished to a nice shine. This example already had some good looking RF tins and probably one of the best I've ever seen.

I wasn't happy with the final internal cable harness length for the external data drive and had to order more wire to make a little longer one. I'm in a holding pattern until then.

I saw your Facebook post. My vote would definitely be to wait for HDMI!

After getting sidetracked for a few days, the PICO9918 is now installed. The default VGA dongle looks great, but that will be swapped for HDMI once the new HDMI dongles get here.
