The Build
Motherboard with 8G RAM, Graphics card installed. Case power supply, Case LED's and switches connected.
Drive bay containing SSD drive installed. Still need a SATA cable and USB2 motherboard to USB 3 cable adapter to connect front USB ports.
Fully Assembled
Fully assembled rear view. Audio Out connected to an external USB powered speaker. LAN connected to a wireless converter. HDMI connected to a portable display.
Fully assembled. Still need to buy shorter exterior cables to clean up the look. The goal of being able to plug in one plug to run the whole system has been reached. Looks like I should be able to fit an internal speaker in the spot for a second fan.
Powered and it's alive! Still booting from USB Emergency Boot memory stick, which was supplied with the motherboard. Next step is to install on the hard drive.
