I followed the thread pretty much since its beginning. It wasn't until I started having those little "issues" every once in a while with my existing Windows i7-920 workstation that I entertained building a completely brand new box. Until now I have made due with my i3-3220 hack which was setup more as a demo/proof-of-concept box. So I upgraded.
My build went great, with only a couple of minor issues....
One was a case modification as I need to re-position my H100i so as the tubing didn't come into contact with the corner of the support bracket for the wireless. The second was a brain-fart related so BIOS settings. I may go back and do a few other things, but am pleased so far.
I have to admit it was a pleasure in taking 10 minutes or so for an OS install on a clean machine. If it was anything M$ related I'd still be sitting there!
Next up is deciding to either build a combination MAC server / PLEX transcoder - it all depends on what the throughput is to my Synology with my shiny new hard drives....
Lastly, a big shout-out / hats-off / cheers to the all the crew. This was probably the easiest install of ANY box I have ever built.
All I can wonder is why I haven't done anything sooner?
