What parts are needed to complete this? RAM? SSD? Anything else?

Greetings, You will need to install system memory (DDR3 1333MHz+ SODIMM), an mSATA SSD and software in order to complete the unit. Best regards, MITXPC

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

You need a Zheino SSD 2.5" IDE/PATA 64GB. See these videos: (1)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgXHPWG68tA (2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgXHPWG68tA

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

1TB SSD+HDD faster boot and photoshop work well! But Balance must Core i5 or i7 and 16GB Ram important work faster!! IF core i3 and 8GB Ram no possible!!

Motherboard, CPU, Power supply, RAM, fans (the fan plane and fans that come with it are loud, so plan accordingly), cables and software to run it. I don't think I missed anything, but ...

this is just the box, mother board, power supply and cooling system. You have to build the rest with components that you buy...the cpu or processor chip, memory storage, RAM, etc. The result is a screaming fast computer if you put in the right components. But this box alone will do nothing.

It will take 32gb ddr3L sodimm ram. 4x8gb sticks. 2x under keyboard, 2x under base cover. Do not know about question 2. Look on MSI forums, or Tom's hardware.You should be able to add Samsung. I assume this is SSD? I fitted an INTEL to mine , no problem.Hope this helps............ Wonderful fast machine..best value for money.

It would have been helpful if you had described what you intend to do. Clone what, exactly, would be a good start. And do you have any extra hardware available, such as an unused HDD that could be used for temporary storage?

you will probably want to install another 4Gb DIMM and SSD drive - so you will be looking at extra $100 if you do it yourself. otherwise it might be too slow for photoshop

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.

you probably need a SATA Cable, and also some brackets to mount the SSD. As the packaging don't come with brackets.

there is only one empty slot there, so what you should do is buy only one RAM, the bigger the better. And personally I think if you have some extra money buy a new SSD will be good, the HDD is really slow.

you should buy msata ssd, there's no sata slot inside. but l removed the CD driver to put my sata ssd inside. hope it will be helpful. :)

I wouldn't bother. You could easily buy an ssd and ram and do it yourself quite easily if your at all familiar with computers.

Install a Solid State Drive for programs and a normal "spinning" HD for storage, this will make a fantastic machine.

yes i have already add a 8gb ram. but i think if you really want to make some improvment you need a ssd
