So, the Lenovo Ideacentre 300s is NOT a very good computer. I did manage to get a graphic card installed that used all of 19 watts.
Then the computer started having issues with the sound, so I ordered an inexpensive sound card.
HAHAHA: The PCIe 1x slot DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE BACK OF THE CASE!!!
So...
...I ordered a cable that will allow me to hook up the sound card and just stick it anyplace really. I doubt I'll be able to screw it into the case, so I'll make an custom enclosure for the sound card. Most likely I'll try and find some cheap plastic box (maybe from the sewing/craft dept. or I'll look at small tackle boxes in the outdoor dept.)
PLUS........
The wifi just went out, so I ordered a new m.2 Wifi 6 card for it.
It might be the only Lenovo Ideacentre 300s sporting 8 gigs of ram, a graphic card, and Wifi 6, and a sound card.
I've yet to nail down if that machine runs on 60 watts or 90 watts. I'm starting to lean toward 90 watts though.
