Project : 5th gen - 20TB gaming rigs

[The boy 4rm oz]

Sounds like a heap of fun. I may see if I can get a plane ticket for my birthday lol, my birthday is the 7th of April. Won't sit well with the parents though cos that is the middle of the week and I am at Uni lol.

Time for a update again ^^

The sideplate [IMG]

As seen in earlier pics, the sideplate on the case has been somewhat consealing, so decided to do a small modification to it, found my cutter and took out a slob of it

The second loop!

Aaaand.... the watercooling stuff arrived today ^^

And the first victim would be the most trusted Atom board

Took off the small hinges on the original cooler

And we got a dirty dirty atom beneath -.-

Let the cleansing begin!

And we got a cooler mounted

The watertank with supporting rubber thingy with glue on ready..

All stashed up on top of the rack, right next to the newly added 1.5tb drives for the atom

3/4 of the disks in the atom ^^

Hosing up the memory!

Ah well... as some of u might know does OCZ produce wierd ass nozzle sizes for their watercooled memory lineup, so had to get a adapter to get my hose size on the second loop down from 3/8 to 1/4

Heres a pic of the modules with some hoses in place

A adapter from 1/2" ti 1/4" had to be used..

Gogo greenish coolant

Let the leak test commense!

and YES, i will have to clean up some in that cable mess... just need to get thermaltake to produce me some custom sized power cables -.- wich they refuse with all their might... god its annoying...

Would also help alot with some custom lenght sata cables

[grevaeg]

Let there be light!

Guess the time had also come to get that old fashion "im 14 yrs old light" in there aswell

gogo 30cm cathodes!

Ah well... thats it for this time folks... THE final pics will be ready the 8th if april, have to clean up some sideplates and drag the beast out of the room... to get some decent pics... will also have to start doing some custom cables myself if i cant get someone else to do the job ^^

this thing looks better everytime I see it

This looks great. I think I would have trouble using all 20TB.

This looks great. I think I would have trouble using all 20TB.

I also said I would never fill a 220mb hdd!

[p0Pe]

all that i recall was looking at my dad when he bought a 20 gig hdd, laugh and say "do you realize how f#cking mental you would have to go in word to fill all that space!"

looks great non the less

[nevermind1534]

I couldn't use that much space right now, but everything keeps increasing in size, so I wold eventually.

Saw this quote a few posts back...

Price estimation would be something like this =)

2 nicely specced gaming comps - 3000$ish
22 TB of drives is another 2800$
raid controllers close up to a decent 1800$ too...
4x 24" LCD's - 2000$
plexiglass cost around 100$ a square meter over here - 600$
Watercooling - 600$
Aluminium and other stuff 300$

I thought I was reading the next MasterCard commercial. That quote should have finished with, "Modding the ultimate kickass computer case, Priceless".

Great work you have done so far m8. Love everything about this build, especially the water setup. +rep
