The SSD is only coz of the budget i had on around 3.600 $ and i had good experians on there mSATA version so i went on what i knew.

But It's my plan to upgrade the SSD later on. This is only for the start setup.

When you move from working with midi tower and over to full tower is it very big at the start but as you prograss your build then it will just be normal to work with and the build of the cabinet makes it much more easy to work with.

And to the build log..

today i testet my hardware. and surprise :D it worked as it shuld.

After that did i put most of the hardware together as i soon have to move and dont can make to much stuff on the machine as its going to be a hevy computer to move.

Also i got most of the last part for the water system. the only missing part now is the water pump.

But its looking good :D

When you can't work on the hardware then you can work on the software...

 

I have now startet the build of the install media and the OS i want to install is Microsoft Windows 8.1 With Media Center with update 1 x64.

So here i got the install media for the MS Win 8.1 Pro up 1 x64 that i need to fix up to the one i need.. and maybe setup some silent install for some of the software that i need on the computer..

 

It's going to be some goooooooooood nerd time the next few weeks ^^

Okay...

Minor set back. i was goffing around in the registration database and made some choses i really regret...

 

So now i advance my setup a bit more with an old 2.5" Sata disc on 100 GB (for now) to make a backup of my C drive so dont lose that any more.

 

I have moved as many home folders as i culd to my D drive to spare the SSD.

ohh.... and the G drive is a virtual drive...

 

So here is a pic of my harddrive setup as it it now.

 

And sorry. im Danish and there for is my OS in Danish too.
