I bet it will be fine. Worst case you just need to go into the bios and disable or remove the missing items.
firedance:
for the cpu fan you could use some metal band, like i use on my builds, i did cut out and re-use the motherboard tray to secure the psu, perhaps you could use the same metal bands to fully secure it too?
am sure they do something very similar in your part of the world - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fixing-Band-10m-All-Purpose-Securing-Strapping-Galvanised-Steel-Reel-Industrial-/352434238181

you'll be fine with just the basic cables plugged into the motherboard, when you start using newer boards from the likes of Dell/HP they throw a hissy fit when somethings not plugged in and its sometimes not possible to bypass.
javeryh:
Of course. I hate this.
I press Ctrl+P and it just hangs. Maybe because this is shelled to boot directly to Hyperspin? I don’t even know what the rear chassis fan is - I reconnected the only fan that blows across the processor. More troubleshooting I guess.
vertexguy:
IHmm...'m not sure what MEBX is. Googling says its something specific for intel chipset setups. If that's not working try hitting F10 repeatedly right at power on. That's the standard key for HP bios access.

I can get to BIOS by hitting F10 but disabling the internal audio and the front USB devices doesn’t help. The computer still expects these things at boot. So I’ve reattached them and they are just sort of hanging there. It’s fine because no one will see it but the less junk I have to put inside the cabinet the better.
I also got an error a few times saying it expected a rear fan - there was never a rear fan so not sure why it would think that. I’ve rebooted a few times now and the error hasn’t popped up again so I’m going to assume it’s OK now.
I really wish I could get rid of the HP splash logo but I don’t see a setting in the BIOS for that.
