The SN45G flayed
Now that we've ogled the case every which way, it's time to open up the SN45G and have a look around inside. We've done this before with previous XPC models, so I'm going to take a bit of a shortcut. Rather than read my description of what's plainly obvious by looking, you're going to have to settle for a photo essay. I've included captions to explain the basics, which should be sufficient. Have a look.

Pull out the drive bay tray in once piece


The AGP/PCI slots are secured by screws and a metal
cover, which folds up when not in use


With the AGP card and drive tray removed,
the innards are more accessible


With the AGP slot on the outer edge of the board, most
GeForce FX 5800 and 5900 cards are probably out of the picture


The clear CMOS jumper is obscured when an AGP card is installed
