Got all the lightning working as only half was working, controller is a little erratically also, Maybe that's why it got discarded.

Started a build to house my recently acquired Ryzen 5 and b450 board.

Old thermal take case which suffered surface rust in many places. Cleaned and rust treated the case carcass, then some fresh black satin finish paint. Next time to polish the plastics.

More will follow as I progress, but its slow pace as I have less time now to cook up pc projects....

Motherboard testing day, hit some luck with a couple. Z97 board was declared dead, one cpu change later and it sprung back to life. Irony of this was I bought it for 10€ for the cpu!!

B450 was also declared dead or faulty (actually it refuses to output any video signal for the moment) as was the ryzen which came in another b450 board not working. Put a gpu in and it posts fine. So time to build a ryzen machine!!

The other 2 came in a box, lga775 and a lga1151, both working. Have others to test but that's it for today. Time to find a couple of cases to build up.
