Glad to know this build is working so well! I have the exact same HP on the way :) planning on making similar upgrades.

Just bought this PC and I'm going to use it as a Plex Media Server and wanted to do the same build with the Storage. Amazing, thank you!

I want to add an additional fan (or maybe 3 more) and do some holes in the case, has the motherboard a specific pin to put a new fan?

The internet is amazing. I was looking for a computer for almost the same reasons.

Nice video. I do look longingly at that gpu though!

9010 was Ivy Bridge, 9020 is Haswell, but as you know it is not as roomy as HP. I can also recommend fujitsu Esprimo e920, nice haswell machine too, with expandability options and six sata ports onboard. It is hosting ws2019 for two years now down in my lab den.

Can u tell what the difference between hp G1 600 vs hp G1 800 sff and I want to use 2 hdd and dvdrom and if possible 1 add.

have this model and have added a PCIe 2.5 GBe Network Card and PCIe NVME Adapter. Both work very well. My Hard Drive with the OS is a Samsung SSD 500 Gig for fast loading.

Hi there, for some reason I can't get more then 2 HDD's working on this machine. In the bios it just shows 2 drives even though I disconnected the dvd drive and plugged those cables into the 3rd hdd. In disk management i can see the 3rd disk but it's offline and won't go online. Am i missing anything into bios options to get 3 hdds working?

How many SATA ports does it have? Can I fit there 4 3,5 inch HDD plus 1 SSD?

can you this on 600 g2? same hacking on slim drive to create space for 3.5 hdd?

Where can i find the screws to mount the 2.5 ssd?

I took out an 8tb wd from its external casing and put it on my prodesk 600 g1. I didn't modify or covered the pin and its working perfectly.

So after a couple of months, can you comment on power draw, idle noise&temp and whether it would be acceptable to have as always on idle pc? Thinking of running nextcloud and using as a docker host in combo with home media streaming

I have one of these laying around. I stuck a spare 240GB SSD and am waiting on 3 x 4GB DDR3-1600 sticks to bring the max RAM up to 16GB. I tested a Xeon e3-1271 v3 in it and works fine and intend on maybe putting a low profile GTX 1650 in as well. Any idea on how to lock the quadcore turbo as "fixed" so it always runs at the max quadcore turbo speed? I tried Intel XTU and Throttlestop but cannot seem to get it to set the CPU.

How do you install the drives without showing them.

I got one of those but mine only has 3 Power cables for the drives. The one for the dvd won't work as it's like half the size. What did you do to get power to the 4th drive? I have 3 1tb drives I want to use, plus the ssd that'll be boot for a truenas build. Mine is running an i7 4790 and 16 gb of ram.

That's a small form factor?! I have a DOS machine with an AWE64 Gold and a modern gaming rig that, combined, are smaller than that!

I can't even get my pc out the bootsystem its a 2tb hdd seagate not sure what to do

There are only 3 sata connectors on motherboard. How did u managed to connect 4 drives?
