Yes, I installed the support. It looks similar to your picture.

Next is getting backup drives and installing them on the back of the case.
2TB for the main C Drive
Amazon.com: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache
4TB for the storage Drive
Amazon.com: Seagate BarraCuda 4TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache
For the 2TB drive I'll use Acronis to clone it. For the storage drive I'll use Beyond Compare to copy it. Then I'll unplug the drives and there's no chance of ransom ware.

Back in the day everyone hated Win 8. They made a skin to make the main screen act like Win 7. Looks like they're doing the same with Win 11.

I thought you had a m.2 for c:, why a 3.5? You only have one 3.5 bay, and three 2.5 bays in that case, just like mine. I'm running the 2TB EVO M.2 as boot, a 2tb 2.5 ssd, and a 4tb 3.5 drive.

I am running M2s for the drives.
C is this drive.
Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Hard Drive Memory Card, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control, MZ-V8P2T0B : Electronics
Storage is this drive.
Seagate FireCuda 530 M.2 2280 4TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ZP4000GM3A013 - Newegg.com

My case has 4 SSD squares and 2 drive bays. Click the 4th picture and you can see the back here.
Fractal Design Torrent RGB Black E-ATX Tempered Glass Window High-Airflow Mid Tower Computer Case - Newegg.com

I'm going to get the standard Sata drives for backup because they're cheap and speed doesn't matter. After I backup my system I unplug them.

Ah. Do you have a third 3.5 tray that fits in near the power supply also? I backup and move giant files with a USB adapter for 2.5 drives. Backups go in the locked safe. Please don't keep everything in one place. Computers are light and easy to snatch.

I just got this one this in May, because I've got a bunch of old IDE drives around also.
Amazon.com: Unitek USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA Converter External Hard Drive Adapter Kit for Universal 2.5/3.5 HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, One Touch Backup Function and Restore Software, Included 12V/2A Power Adapter : Electronics

It does cloning also.

Spent 2 hours doing cable management. Everything is pretty, the sides close with no problem.

My monitor came in. Click the link to see it.

It works with no problems, don't see any dead pixels so far. Only bummer is the Display Port cable is only 4 feet, so I have to buy one that is 10 feet. That's because my computer is on the floor to the side. It's not sitting next to the monitor. Everything with this build has gone perfect. I love the keyboard, mouse, and gaming headset.

I was playing CS:GO switching back and forth to Armory Crate to check the temps. They were in the low 40s. I can crank up the fans to max and that helps.

Haven't done benchmarks yet, but I'll get to them. I got a free activation for Doom Eternal and Ghost Wire for buying the 3090Ti. Tried Doom, don't know if I'm into a zombie game with all the gore. Plus there's a lot to learn with all the combo shots. Downloaded Acronis 2021 and it worked, made an image of my C drive to a backup folder on the E Drive.

No, there is no drive bay up top like yours. It's an open space. I have the 2 drive bays on the back and the fan header is on the bottom.



On the left is the 2TB Sata. I created a bootable USB with the newest version of Acronis and cloned my primary drive. I rebooted the computer from the Sata drive and it worked.

On the right is the 4TB Sata. I installed Beyond Compare 4 and made a back up of the storage drive. They sit in the case unplugged until I'm ready to do another backup.

For a portable backup, I use a USB drive, then take it to my daughter's. I have a few in rotation.

Here's the front with the power off.

The GPU has a 12 pin plug where 2 separate power cables connect to the PS (not 3). And that's why for a 3090Ti, you'll need a 1000W PS. That one has a readout on the side. When playing CSGO the power is between 500 and 600W. At idle it's about 150W.

I'm glad you offsite your backups. I keep mine in a safe, but I should really put some in the safe deposit box too.
