I like it, this is gonna be a monster of a build.

[grevaeg]

counted it up just now... 166x60x30cm WITHOUT feet -.-

Bloody hell... didnt think it would end up at those sizes, lol

kinda thinking about building one large ass box instead of 2 mini and 1 medium

I would still keep it modular, would make it a lot easier if you ever have to move/transport it.

^ this. As long as you make the cabling modular too, leaving it as three pieces would make it worlds easier to move. Considering the size and weight of this thing, if you build it as one piece, I can't really see it moving....ever.

EDIT:
How do you have all those drives managed? I'm in the process of re-building my fileserver, and I haven't been able to find a really nice way to deal with lost of drives across multiple controllers.

A new day, new opportunities =)

As mentioned , more then 20 meters(!!!) of 25x25x2mm aluminium have been cut up today in appropriate lenghts..

The welding will start the upcoming thursday most likely, some results will finally show by then, OCZ have sendt 3x of their hyrdoflow aswell today, so should receive them sometime soon

Placed up the stuff i allready received just to see if everything fit as it should, and it really seem promissing this far, however... the middle mobo tray is rotated the wrong way have to cut and fit it to the mATX standard first

Next week this little fella will be visited =)
