I am both excited and disappointed.
When I read holocron, I went Sith Holocron (ie little intricately carved pyramid). Wow, Darth making a super ornate pyramid out of plexi! Nice!
but then I clicked and went doh! It's a media server so its probably referring to the LOADS of info stored on it.
BTW nice case regardless, love the girly jedi/sith chicks.
Can we get higher res screens if possible?
I should have the case tomorrow.Quote:

Hmm, ok. Do they link or do you have 3 volumes or software RAID?

This project is finished
Final pix and specs:
CPU: Intel SandyBridge 2500k
Mobo: ASUS P67 Sabertooth
RAM: 8 gigs of Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer – pattern and color can be changed via software
GFX: two NVIDIA Geforce 580s in SLI
PSU: Silverstone Zeus 1200m – some of the cables I sleeved and some are extensions from Frozen CPU
Cooling: Danger Den watercooling including their new Monsoon Resevoir
Case: Danger Den Double Wide Tower 21 – custom
Other: 25 two terabyte Western Digital hard drives, three Areca raid cards
It looks amazing! But why put a GTX 580 SLI in a server?
HTPC - hooked to my 70" sony TV. Can game on it. That and I have five 580s with three in my gaming machine so I had two leftoverQuote:

Two reasons for 40TB:
DVD&BluRay ripping
TBCS primary server :banana:
*Don't forget about joining the TBCS 4TB club!
WOW.... gorgeous... I think you have a bubble in your cpu block though.

I looked at the DD case for my server but I just can't justify the price. Double wide cases are way over priced IMO. So I'll just build my own!
Either way, great build DarthBeavis.
That's why I'm making my own double-wide case.
Teaser for my personal server build ;)
I wish I had time to build my own cases from scratch but I have to do builds for NVIDIA on a schedule . . .tight schedule.
Not a scratch-build, either..........
If you are not buying a case but you are making one isn't that a scratch build?Quote:

Got the cover of CPU Magazine July 2011 issue. w00t
