Submitted by admin on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 18:54

Per the upgrade to Firefox 4 (from 3.6.16) I ran into an issue on both Windows and Linux systems. When accessing my websites, that use self signed certificates, the certificates are rejected. With Firefox 3.x I could add an exception easily, but that option is not shown in Firefox 4. It took a while to find a procedure that works for me:

From receiver to HTPC, part 11

And this is the result. All knobs are functionless except for the power switch at the top-left that switches the HTPC on and off, and the large knob top-right which still moves the needle and not more than that. All lights are on when the HTPC is on and it is beautiful to look at.

The bottom of the case is ready to start mounting the motherboard. I used the montherboard (mini ATX size) itself as the template. Drilling 3mm holes at the exact mm locations and adding the 2cm length studs and nuts took a few hours. It looked easy but misplacing a stud is not what I want.
