All powered and running smooth.
I am not kidding I didn't hear anything and thought there was a problem.
It is so silent, and that is with one panel off to make sure everything is going well.
This is quiet !

Time for bed, I am happy

Ok, it appears then that you will not have any HDD?
Don't know much about SSD, but thought writing alot to them degrades their efficiency? Therefore, HDD are better for data.
SSD's wear out from writing, but the useful life for nearly all of us is going to be 10-20 years or more.
Intel SSD Toolbox has a "wear out indicator".. counts down from 100 to 1 when worn out (might start out at 99 sometimes). My X25-M has been used daily for 20 months and it's still on 99. At this rate, I wouldn't wear it out for 200 years.
SSDs have "wear spread" functions. That means the controller more-or-less keeps track as to which cells have been written and spreads the writes all across the memory evenly. That is, the entire drive is written once before cells are written a 2nd time, etc.... unlike a HDD which can write and overwrite the same 20G or so and perhaps never write to the majority of the drive.
IOW... unless you're writing an awful, AWFUL lot, shouldn't be concerned about "wear out".
My apologies for not answering yet. Yes I do have
A number of hdd. I swap them out for different needs
That is the kingwin hot swap 3.5 drive bay that was installed.
I can swap the drives between computers to share files, data as needed.
Plan on doing more in the future but for now the ssd wil be for the
Os and important programs and hot swapping hdd for data.
Good post Scataphagos
I will post the final costs, all the pieces listed that went into the machine,
And approximate hours to purchase all items and to build the machine by weeks end.
That wil be some good info for anyone interested in a DYI build.
I will continue posting installing the os and other info.
Out today and wil continue posting later

Good information for those like me that have thought about grabbing an SSD for their box. Do SSD's speed up the whole experience or just improve boot time?
