The New Home

Work space

Back template installed...

The foundation upon which the new unit will set up shop.

Side view, plenty of heat sinks to cool things off with.

The brains and the memory

The CPU and cooling fan.

CPU is locked in place.

The cooling fan is snapped in place.

This has a lot of cooling fins.

Power supply, 750 watts.

Locked in place.

Motherboard in place. Very impressed; all the holes actually lined up correctly...

...and all these holes lined up as well. Doing pretty good so far.

16 gigs of memory. 2600 Mhz speed.

Memory snapped in place.

Power cables sneaking through the peek-a-boo holes for cable management.

Video card: GTX 970, 4 gigs GDDR5 memory on board, three fans.

Support for multiple monitors.

Massive heat sink, copper tubing.

Video card snapped in place, locked down tight.

Added the DVD drive.

Hard drive. 1 terrabyte, solid state drive.

Picking out a rack to place the SSD.

Picked one of the two trays designed specifically for an SSD drive.

Drive is taken out of the box. Very small.

In place, holding screws in place.

Connecting power and SATA cable from behind, slide it back home and locked in place.

Power cables applied to all fans, sound, front panel connectors, DVD drive. The only thing not shown is the fan on the side of the case (that'll be connected once the build is finished.

Power applied. It lights up, and...

...it lights up. Successful POST.

A quick test of the DVD drive shows that if there's a bootable disk in place, it'll run.
