I have tried removeing the EPA logo and the PXE lan. Which wasn't enough.. Could i remove the intergrated video card or will the machine not boot? I did manage to release EPA, PXE, and VGA and was able to intergrate the module for sata in the bios. However... i fear bricking this old box. Please advise.
