I was wondering where the best place to put a Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD in a Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 Mid Tower Case. Same question for a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band N900 Network Wireless Adapter.
For the SSD, I have no other hard drives, and the case's slots are located in the front, from the bottom up to about 2/3's up. Do SSD's heat up? I have fans in the front of the case, and can remove a mod of hard disk bays and put them behind the bottom hard drive bay. In other words, it would be located in the center bottom of the tower between the PSU, which is in the rear bottom, and the empty hard drive bay, in the front bottom. This would allow one of the front case's a clear view of the part of the motherboard with the graphics card on it.
As far as the wireless adapter goes, it will have antennas sticking out of it. Should I place it as high as possible in the tower without blocking the graphic card's rear ports, or is lower better. This tower will be located under my desk, in it's own partition. Alternatively, if higher is better, could I move the graphics card further south on the mother board? The installation guide for the mobo said to put it in the first PCIe slot, and this means the one closer to the CPU, which is further north on the mobo. Does the graphic card's PCIe location really matter?
This is my build. Thanks.
