Tonight I put together some of the system. The motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU have been installed. The system POSTs, but nothing else. Next step: add a couple of HDD and then install FreeBSD 8.

UPS just delivered the box with the 2xSATA drives for the OS, the RAM, and the upgraded PSU.
I have everything to start assembly. The next question is: when?
