This video is the third of my new series on building a Home Lab Virtual Machine Application Server. In this part I complete the hardware build, by installing the motherboard subsystem (containing all the key system components), and the All-in-One Water cooler, into the case, resulting in a fully function system contained in its case. As mentioned in both previous Parts of the series, this build will be VERY detailed and can be considered a PC building tutorial for those who are new to building their own PC with the many of the best commercially available components available today. Thanks for watching.
