This is an easy one, because I am a huge n00b. I will leave out the long winded story and just start with the question:
I am 80% done with my first HTPC build, and I only have the GPU (backorder coming in 2 weeks) and a HDD (SSD already hooked up) coming in the mail. I am itching to turn my work into something that lights up a screen. Is it ok to hook it all up, load OS (windows), then in a few days/week open her back up and put in the GPU and HDD? Or is it easier to wait and do it all at once?
I was going to wait on the "complete" cable management until the other components came in, so that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!
