Hi All,
I will be putting together my new workstation this week but it will take awhile before I get it to where I want. I figured I'd create a thread as it will go through several stages.
I will be using the following parts to start with:
Primo P115EA Case
1x Noctua 12cm front intake - or a Thermaltake Riing 12cm fan (orange LED)
2x Noctua 8cm rear exhaust
Silverstone ST30SF
Gigabyte B85N Phoenix Wifi
Intel Xeon E3 1231 v3
Noctua NH-U9S cooler
Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer (Orange LED) 2x4gb 1866mhz
EVGA GTX 660 2GB
Transcend 370 mSATA 256gb SSD
Crucial M500 480gb SSD
I plan to upgrade it over the next few months when I get the money for other parts or they become available:
Upgrade the power supply to Corsair SFX with custom sleeving
2x 2TB 2.5 hard drives (mirrored) for storage
I will be using it for video and photo editing, and occasionally light gaming.
I'll be setting up a desk for it in the summer - hopefully with a 34inch monitor
Case is ordered but won't arrive till tomorrow I think. Rest of the parts are ready from an old build so they're ready to go in
I will also be building a Test Bench during the same time that I want to use for testing stuff and playing around. It will be using an Asus B85M-Gamer motherboard, G3258 processor, some RAM i have laying around, an Asus R7 240 2gb graphics card, and an OCZ Trion 240g SSD. I haven't ordered the Test case yet but i will do that this week. I'll be testing CPU coolers (and writing reviews on them!) on it mostly.
Pictures will come tomorrow if the case arrives!
