To be added in 2020:

• New Ultra M.2 Drive ( x4 NVMe )
• GPU ( probably an old Nvidia GeForce GTX 9700 from my closet ) - NOPE - turned out to be an old GTX 1080

Update 2023-08-22

As of today this system is multibooted. I have the following disks / OSs:

• M2 NVMe - Ubuntu 22.04
• M2 Sata - Gentoo ( reserved )
• Sata - Arch Linux
• Sata - LFS - Linux From Scratch
• Sata - Windows

I’ve also installed a new GPU instead of relying on the on board GPU. I pulled an old GTX 1080 out of an external enclosure that I litterally pulled out of the trash ( basement of my building by the garbage cans ).

I’ve also installed some greed LED strips which aren’t functional but look pretty neat.

Here is a video of me installing a GTX 1080:
