Out of interest, because I really do not want to read through 21 posts, did OP ever actually finish their new build and when?

Yes! It is complete. Do you don't think to check my specs? If you have you'd know my system is built. Of Course there may be add ins but as it stands it is com[let. With all new builds there are always options. So now you know. Any suggestions?

I still think it needs a Bonsai tree.

I think it would look cool. You have the perfect space for it.

Sorry I haven't bean here in a few days. My intent was not to be sarcastic. If I came of that way I sincerely apologize. The system is build but has room for upgrades. I'm thing of two 4 TB NVME's. My plane is to transfer "Or Copy" all data from my spin drives to the NVME's for quick access to everything. No more swapping out drives from my remote bay. But I would have to do some purging and that is going to be difficult. This is 20 + yeas of collecting. YA I know... On a spin drive! You would be surprised. But that's moving data to another drive when I see Signs of failing. The NVME's will average $500.00 and upwards of $700.00 each depending on the speed that I choose. But I do have my old age pension and my CPP and I do still work So it shouldn't take to long.

Just to let you know my system is alive and kicking! Not an issue at all. My boot time is around 20 seconds. all in all I love my build.

A fellow Canadian with CPP and OAS lol

8TB is a lot of expensive space on NVME's. Do you have a plex or other media server?

Nice to hear from you again and good to know your system is still up and running. Methinks you timed your build just right for future retirement. Hopefully Windows 12 won't declare it obsolete when it is released.

These days one never knows. Make sure to keep your spin drives for archives because stuff happens. As for the joys of being Canadian I had to call Canadian Tire today to find out what happened to the air compressor I ordered. (My old one died. I think I cursed it when I said that my air compressor would die before I would ever hurt a system board just cleaning it with compressed air.) I'm hoping it gets here soon so I can get on with my rebuilds and my ROGUE build.
