I finished building my newest PC a little while ago.\u00a0 Just the other day (at time of writing) I replaced the motherboard due to a bug in the Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard chipset Serial ATA Controller with it’s new, bug-free version.<\/p>\n

Long ago, for the first time,\u00a0I built my own PC.\u00a0 Then, I built another.\u00a0 Then another, and another.\u00a0 This is one of them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Surprisingly, that went through\u00a0with zero issues I’m happy to report!\u00a0 I thought\u00a0at least I would have to re-create my RAID 10 array, and re-image the machine from a backup.\u00a0 However, it found my array and booted right up!\u00a0 Way to go Intel\/Asus!<\/p>\n

I decided to take some photos of it, they came out alright,\u00a0as the\u00a0lighting in my room is not great.\u00a0 Check them out below.<\/p>\n
