Is water cooling ok? I got it for looks mostly lol. I saved a bit with price matching and the open box mb. The processor didn't have a heatsink and fan, since it was frys test unit. (they pulled it from a computer to sell me. Huge savings for me xP.
I went with micro ATX for space and portability. And they look cool. xP
SSD was my preferred choice, but money spoke when I saw 1T for a fraction of a good SSD.
What's a pen drive? Like a flash drive with windows on it? I have the eom cd but the cd drive is external, and being returned xP

Yeah, a small usb drive. One with 4 or 8 giabytes will do the trick. You set up yumi with wathever iso you want to install and it turns the drive into a bootable unit you can use to install windows, linux or wathever. You can even use wathever extra memory you have left to kepp an office installer or antivirus or wathever.
The ssd is pricey, the idea is to have one for the software, and a regular one for storing, like movies, large games, etc... or get a very large ssd.
Does it show I buld pc's for a living? ^^U

Ok, so the idea is just like when I want to install a fresh OS of Yosemite on my mac. Been a mac user for the past 5 years. Abandoned PC when all I did was kill every one I owned lol. Also Win 7 made me say NOPE. Have a surface rt and I kinda love it.
Yea, I wish I could have gotten one, just ran outa money. I do want to get a sad, have one more spot in the case for a drive and a few hidden ports from the power supply. (4 ports on the motherboard for a HDD or SSD)
