 Yeah, right - I'm not sure what I was thinking. I've bought off-lease
 Dells for the past 10+ years and not messed with the innards, I'm way
 out of touch. Was given a video card with a 4 and 6-pin power
 connector, apparently some people power them off of SATA power but have
 concerns about it. I'll stick with a GTX 1030 for the time being.

 I think I want to go back to building from scratch again with my next
 PC, but I've got some learning to do.
