12th October 2022 - Various Hobbies - Computer

First job, was to turn my computer off. :( :( 

And install the DVD DVD writer with one screw for now.

As I was doing up the screw I kicked myself as ordered a new DVD DVDR player !!
Nothing is wrong with this one, but as I am not planning on opening the case up for another 3 years, thought it best to replace it now.

The top unit (holds 2 x 3.5" SSD's plus the on/off and reboot switches.
I am not ready to screw in to the case yet as its a real pain to get the SATA leads in.

Plus I need to find and refit the front bezel

and there is another box, that sits directly underneath it and they cable together. 

I had to shut down, to add a SSD drive, so I could back it up, give it a thorough test and see if any deleted files could be found ( I am still missing loads of pics, so any I do manage to recover will be a blessing)

Also removed the DVD DVDR player again, ready for when the new one arrives (ETA Saturday)

Altho intel said my  I5 CPU cannot be clocked, I know different :) :) 

This pic is to remind me of the main changes I will make, at some stage.

Back in goes the new 4TB harddrive in the bottom front cage.
Altho thinking on it, I brought this drive to go into my external SATA box, for backups, So I will remove it later, It's safe here for now.

(that I have been backing up recovered files and folders on other harddrives)

Whilst os copying and recovering lost data is going on, I push the DVD DVDR drive back in the case and line up the screw holes.
But DO NOT Screw it in place.

As I was just using it to line up this top unit so I could screw in into place,

on this side only for now.
