Project : 5th GeN
Building a 29TB monster rig
Well... the time has come to yet again start on a new project, the old one just didnt fit my needs anymore, so decided to give it my all to build a awesome dual pc case, with a additional atom rig to run the upcoming touch screen =)
Anyways, have set some personal goals for this build
* 2 Mainboard spots
* Watercooled
* Removable harddrive rack
* Enough space for atleast 40 disks
* Good radiator
* Only use 250mm fans where its possible
* double PSU area
* Aluminium frame, welded
* Plexiglass exterior
* Silver and black finish, go for style
* Buildt in 2 sections, 1 for main pcs, 1 for radiator and atom PC

Concept - frame
Afraid i havent made a concept for the exterior of the case yet, but atleast have some plans for the looks on the frame itself, have allready been working on the case for a few days, so it didnt really turn out the way i though it would... a sudden burst of creativity came in the way for that part
