7 The Crossroads - Computers

Assembly Continued

My next task was to mount the OS Hard Drive. I ended up having problems connecting the Hard Drive with the AC Ryan cable, so I ended up using a spare rounded cable instead.

To reduce wire clutter, I decided to sleeve all of the Fans. Even though the wires would be tucked under the motherboard, I wanted them as clean as possible. After sleeving the Fan, I mounted it to the case with a Noise Isolator.

For the rear Fans, I removed the three pin connectors and ran all six wires in the same sleeve. Then I sleeved a Y-cable to link the two fans. The end result was quite nice. I then mounted the fans onto the back panel.

I decided I would install the motherboard next. After installing the Processor and Memory, I mounted the Heatsink and bolted the motherboard to the bottom panel of the case. I then re-mounted the Drive Bays onto the bottom panel.
