Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
After watching your vid, i went and downloaded me a copy of it. Thinking that I would get no where near the installation time that you got I was pleasantly suprised when from (Boot from USB, it ran Windows 7 setup) to the time i was on my desktop was just over 11 minutes.
One thing I did...
Sorry for the delay in pics (and quality). Here are some preliminary ones after everything was squeezed into the system. (note that one of the HD's is dead, thus the open HD spot.. :( ) Also after the pic's were taken I exchanged out the flat IDE cable with a rounded one.. much better fit...
A little update: one of the HD's was doa...
Good news though is that everything powers up and has been running now for a good solid 5 hours (while I setup GameEx - very config intensive setup)..
The psu brick is barely warm. Windows is running nicely, and I am currently ripping my first...
Bought it from eWiz.com, but after looking at their site looks like they no longer have it in stock.
A good site for Mini-Itx and I think they still have the cases in stock is http://www.logicsupply.com

Actually had all but the Slim DVD/CDrom... need that to re-install the Mobo Software as it is a DVDrom install CD...
At the time I just copied what I thought was the setup files, but apparently mis-copied the audio setup.. right now no audio due to it.
Here are the wattage rundown

Seems everyone is hounding me on my drive purchase... ease up you rich folks.. ;)
Sure I would love to have 4x1tb drives or even 500g drives but I put myself on a strict budget for this machine at this time. Eventually - yes I'll be getting bigger drives, and at that time i'll rotate the...
I don't have that many DVD's nor will most likely buy a ton of them. After guestimating my current DVD collection (approx 24) and my at most 2 dvd purchase per year.. I'll be set for sometime. I'll be using up approx 120g of that 750g (approx)space with a raw rip anyways...
If in the...
The only issue I have seen with the Win2k3 driver installation is I apparently didn't copy all the audio setup folders for the install. From time to time after reboot it says it found a new hardware device (audio) and needs the disk.
Outside of that I am suprised how well the 8200 runs...

I've bought basically the same as you did above.
Ordered the mobo,cpu,memory, drives last night. Should get them in 2 days.
Going to use it primarily for DVD playback, Game emulator, etc. So i can free up some space in my AV cabinet next to my TV.
Very nice indeed.. Good job on the build.. looks nice..
On a side note if you are ever interested in making a SAN outta that beast... you can try
Openfiler: http://www.openfiler.com/
It is a free SAN OS.
Now I am interested in building one for myself. If for anything else as a...
