Hi I am back with another build. It’s just a New PC build for storing my review and website data.


As you might know that I have started doing lot of reviews now a days, and having lot of images , graphs, and lot of files scattered all over my three portable drive, my Home pc ( which is also used by other family members) , my laptop and lot of USB pen drives.


Searching for a file is now becoming hell of a difficult. So planning to make a standalone PC for store all reviews and website data in a proper manner and connect this pc to home network so that files are easily available to all my devices.

Proud to announce Sponsor for the build

DIY FTW!
Isn't this too powerful for a data storage PC? I mean an i3 and 8 GB RAM? A celeron and 2 GM ram would have sufficed perfectly.

So yeah, if you were buying those new for the purpose then it would have been overkill. Else if may be fine.

Yes already have many hardware lying .. But I think i3 will be good as it can be used for some additional purpose. And it's not 24/7 PC, it's just a central storage for my reviewing stuff.. Just switch ON and get data when needed..

PSU and Antec 2 x 80mm fan installed..

It would be really helpful if you create a step by step NAS setup guide ...... specially the software part only if you are interested in installing dedicated NAS OS.

why the change in motherboard ? Did they give H97M-HD3 since they were having some issues with the H81 revisions?

NO dear.. I purchased H81M-S1 cos it was in my budget and full fills all of this build needs.


AND is Gigabyte replacing every H81 board with H97 board.. No na..


They have just sponsored the build.. that's it..


Any if you are following my FB page, I am shortly giving a comparison between H81M-S1 and Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK Board using Intel i3 -4130 CPU.. So stay tuned bro..

nothing against you but how long this build process is going to take ? You should have gathered all of the parts before. It started on 7th Feb. and still going on. Looks like a striptease now ;) but feels like a too late running train :D

how and why are companies sponsoring you build? (._.)( ._.)

why are you using SSDs for data storage? Why are you using a Xeon for a 'data storage' PC? Why?

This rig is better than most people's gaming rigs .-.
