---

At current state its not noisy at all, the water flows on the side of the tubes, it doesnt fall straight down, had to drill a few holes to get that done though, it was making really annoying splashing sounds before that 0.o

Obviously, that's a lot of flow, so I had it hooked up to a switch that would allow me to fine tune the throughput. I also had plans at one point to make the homebrewing system fully computer controlled and automated, but after a bit of research, along with the fact that brewing beer was becoming more work than fun (fifteen gallon batches will do that to you if you have to bottle it all--that's roughly six and a half cases of 12 oz bottles), I scrapped the idea.

Who knows though, I might revive that idea down the road.

/end thread hijack.

Edit: I didn't realize that a few pages had transpired since I last looked at this. If I just recovered territory that had already been covered, my apologies, those who were responsible for the sacking have just been sacked. :D

*whathesaid*

rofl wall of quotes!!! rofl lol

haha, thats how it works when u check into a forum every now and then :P

Anyways, added some comments and progress to the previous update =)

I am loving that beast! Infact, I want one now....

/\ join the que... lol

is it going to be done anytime this year..
will it be able to think faster then the AI in games

I'm just thinking of all the SATA/Molex power splitters you are going to need for all those drives, and the SATA data cables. Looks like it will require some serious cable management.

Loving how this beast is turning out by the way. I cant imagine what the hell you would do with 22TB of storage space. Are you planning to add more drives in the future, or sticking with 22TB. You could always have an external unit that stores drives and has a seperate power supply. Hurmmmm..... I wonder, would you turn the power on before or after you plug in the data lines? I'm thinking after.

lol i didnt think of that... how do you join that many sata cables?

That's why he has 2 PSU's lol ;).

Even so, he is still gonna need 48 power cables and data cables.
