I used a USB keyboard to get to the BIOS. There are 4 USB ports on the SS4200-E box, so I usually use one for the keyboard and mouse.

Thanks for the post. I have ordered the cable from ebay. I believe challenging part will be to dremel off the side of connector without destroying any pin. Any tool you recommend?

Can you also post the bigger(high resolution) pictures to make it more clear? You can have them as optional download as I understand that embedding them on web page will make page loading slow. I am trying hard to find out how to fit in PCI-E connector to X16 video card.

Thanks for posting it!

I thought about doing that, but theres some risk involved with dremeling the board vs. a cheap flex connector. Mounting the card would be another issue since you would need to disassemble the case in order to fit the video card into the board.

Instead of using the flex adapter could you have dremeled (shaved) the extra PCI-E board connector down so it could be plugged directly into the MB? Also removing the faceplate and wedging something under it to not short anything?

built a Windows 2008 server for home using a $135 Intel SS4200 box and some parts. 40 watts! http://bit.ly/cjxGC4
