Four boxes finally arrive on Feb 18	The graphics card came by itself	The case is so big, it had a box to itself	Box 3 has a bunch of small items
Box 4 is heavy, due to the UPS battery	Everything out of the boxes ...	Start with the case	Big hard drive slide.."hot swappable" slot
Little SSD follows in the other slot	The motherboard is ... complicated	Put the CPU into its socket ...	... add some heat-conducting goo ...
... and plop the CPU cooler on top	Then insert the second fan into the cooler	Lots and lots of lit..al cables to connect	Ta-da! All ready to..es not connected yet
Whoops, the connecto..t remove motherboard	Oh, yeah, I forgot t..drives to power, too	Now put the motherboard back into place	Connect drives to motherboard
The graphics card ha..ts own power sockets	Almost ready to turn..r the first time ...	It works!	Adding the wireless ..er was the last step
It _barely_ fits next to the graphics card	Now put the walls an..n the case -- Feb 23	Good ventilation -- we're ready to rock
