Yes, I am waiting for parts. I have my WD Blue SN580 2 TB which I'm not installing till my Fractal Design Flex 2 PCIe 4.0 x16 Black Vertical GPU Riser arrives. It says it'll be here on the 18th. So I'll do a pic by Pic install of both the NVME and the GPU Riser but not a video. I have not abandoned his post just to let you know..

I look forward to watching this work in progress. The picture of the Tomahawk with the Noctua and the 4TB Crucial NVMe is not for me. That one is for a friend who lives about an hour outside of town. (This old guy is still fighting with TPM keys lol.) :::sigh::: Your build is looking awesome, Lance. By all means, keep us posted.

Putting a GPU vertical riser kit together was pretty boring. And installing a NVME is the same. But I did a quick video of the finished install and a pic. But I have a surprise I'll post later. So Stay Tuned.

If you don't want any lights or glitz on the connectors they tend to cost more.

The LEDs are soo tiny and not invasive in the least. When your system is shut down the green light stays on indicating power to the board. I've had it for years and it hasn't failed me in the least.

I'm also thinking there's probably a better way to tuck that black SATA cable given the way you have your drives hidden already.

Ya that's to bad. It picked up on my R9 290X just fine and it's more then a decade old. Another reason for picking up the 4060.

    YA! This the old backup. In case things go south. It'll give me access to everything I need.

Ya that's to bad. It picked up on my R9 290X just fine and it's more then a decade old. Another reason for picking up the 4060.

I found a different solution to that fan issue. Anyway, they're happy with the build and that's what matters. It does seem to be a good app though. I'm just yankin' your chain on that 4060. I'm running an old EVGA 1070 on this unit and it pretty much handles all my needs without issue. Could probably do with a re-paste but I'm too lazy to bother. It renders okay and still streams better than I thought it would. Perhaps if I were a hard core gamer I'd be more motivated to get a better card, but GFX cards are such a money grab these days. If I buy again I'll likely buy used. (That is, if I'm buying for myself.)

Other Info
Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.

Your just yanking' my chain? I thought I felt my collar getting tight ;-) Buy used! I don't think I would take a chance on a used GPU. You never know what your going to get. But each to there own. I already downloaded the driver and the DDU. Just getting ready! I just checked the Tracking Number and it already in transport. (y)
