I pray you already table tested this machine, I'd hate to see you put it together and smack your head.
It looks sweet though...
You jinxed it!
I hate you... :cry:
Not all of the kit is knackered, at any rate.
I have a tendency, a result of many years ago putting three new things in a system all at the same time and then spending hours figuring out WTF was wrong when it wouldn't work, of
testing new things individually.
So...
Dig out old 3.5" SATA HDD and a full-sized SATA optical... motherboard works fine. It'll even boot the Windows XP install I forgot about on the HDD without complaint.
Put 2.5" SATA HDD in SATA caddy and plug into computer. Computer finds it and is happy.
Plug in SATA slimline optical drive into a working desktop using the adaptor that came with it... NOTHING. BIOS doesn't detect it - in fact, it hangs the BIOS so only the switch on the back of the PSU will turn the computer off. Optical drive DOA! Have just phoned Scan.
It's gonna be at least two weeks... :cry:
