How I did it
It made me
satisfied 
How I did it: Lots and lots of Googling, practice, trial and error, speaking to professional technicians-- pretty much the same way most any tech does it. See my "become a computer technician" goal if you're wondering on some of the particulars. Read how I did it…

Sound troubles yet again
3 days ago
The funny thing is, the solution was simply to unplug the sound card and to plug it into a different PCI slot.
Along the way, I decided to try again to install OSSv4 (Open Sound System version 4.2). For some reason, it was smoother on Linux Mint than Ubuntu. Could not get everything to work and I found it was just better to go back to ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture). I know OSS has a simpler API and is cross-platform compatible, but ALSA seems to be better supported for my machine.
I think I may be rid of Pulseaudio for the time being, though :)
Cassette tape box becomes a spice rack.

I got my father-in-law to cut me some panel board to 3” X 10” specifications, and the crate-style boards that were removed from the top and bottom created the lip edges and reinforcements in the back.
(It’s too bad 43T doesn’t allow two pics for before and after.)
