    Welcome to NBR and congrats on your first post!

    The build looks good. The JH model comes pretty well equipped as it is and doesn't really need a whole lot of upgrading. Not a whole lot of changes if any I would suggest on there, it looks good to me!

    You may consider getting an "Optical Drive Bay Hard Drive Caddy". Since this special parts are sometimes hard to find or long to wait for delivery, it may cost a lot more or simply unavailable in the future. Looks like a good spec to me.

    You can get them on ebay or amazon usually for pretty cheap. As long as you get one that is the right thickness, they're universal.

    12.7mm is the size you want, then you can take the original bezel off the optical drive and put it on the caddy to keep the same same look.

    Just be careful as some have replaceable fronts and others do not.
