Hi I am about to start a new build with this mobo 2 questions
I see that it has a ssd slot can I run the main hd from this ?
And do I need to buy a GFX card or will it run off the mobo one ?
Thx in advance

It will run off the mono one just select Mac mini as your type in multibeast

...and set up the BIOS for on-board graphics. See my Zorro build description for how to do that.

That goes for the GFX.

I have no idea regarding the on-board mSATA controller. According to experience I would think there would be problems..

Is there any other case besides the cooler master you would use?
