[project]6th GeN. 30TB TriplX

Ey guys!

New project on the starting steps now, hopefully gotten some more experience since last time, and going into this one with all my "might" :P

Current pic

-Sponsors-
THX ALOT to these guys, they are making this project possible !

OCZ

AMD

Anfi-Tech

Spinnin Wheel

Netshop

EK waterblocks

-Goals-
I would like to develop my previous design, lots of hot air was blown directly onto other components last time, thats gonna change, all the disks will go in the middle module, while the main comps stay in their own on top and bottom, there will be no more "PSU in the top right corner" type of thing, got OCZ on the team this time, and they will provide some awesome custom powersupplies for this project

to sum it up :

* 3 mobo slots (gonna get in a mATX instead of the mITX)
* seperate disk case
* seperate comp case
* watercooled cpu's/gpu's
* TO HELL WITH PLEXI, god i hate that material...
* YES to andonized, cnc'ed alu :P
* fully welded alu frame

A new day, a new set of renders !

consept art
Gonna post up some early renders on some thoughts and ideas this time around, feel free to contribute with ideas, they are greatly needed, as this is only the basic design without any awesome looking stuff

Getting late at my place, gonna do a proper writeup tomorrow =)

Stay tuned! ^^

this is gonna be nuts. what did you do with the 20TB one?

Wow. Those are some amazing illustrations! +Rep
Not sure what any one person could use all that space for but it sure as hell looks cool.
If you decide to have some posters made I am interested in buying one of the last two or three pictures.

A new day, a new set of renders !

Hi again guys, finally done with some more renders, have had some more time on my hand's

Thanks alot m8 =) Hope the new illustrations look somewhat better, worked alot on the model today

Well... the space is being filled up, around 40GB on a good day... so the space is truly needed to be able to keep the connection at home utilized 24/7 :P

Waaah? buy stuff? not really sure what we are talking about here ^^

Awaiting some finals pics on that worklog, then im gonna close it off, and put it up on the open market, gogo highest bidder!

Without hardware though :P

Only the atom, watercooling and the case up for sale

OMG! Isn't 1 storage monster enough lol. You first mod turned out great, I can't wait to see how this goes. Congratz on the sponsors and good luck.

Good Lord, it's the mother-ship! That thing is unbelievable, I want one!

here we go again :)

Yet another day, and lots of plans and ideas keep emerging :P

(and yea, here we go again ^^ )

The windtunnel

As alot of you know, harddrives produce ALOT of heat when they are stacked up together, and tbh... having around 40 disks in a single box without any way of getting it out efficient will end in disaster and lotsa defective disks.

Building a windtunnel should prevent most of this, a windtunnel is basically a piece of whatever that controlls the way of airflow, in my case it will be buildt with 5mm plexi (god forbid) and will be housing 3x 80mm fans at low RPM, these fans will pull cold air outside the case, and the larger 250mm fans in the back will push hot air out

On to the consepts!
