yeah, nice one... :D are those hot swap HDD frames? :-k
the only thing I would do is to organize the cables a little, looks better, better for maintenance and for the airflow... :wink:

btw, I felt free to edit your post and to use our own image host.. :wink:

They're supposed to be designed for quick replacement of raid disks, but. I would still have to take off the back cover to get to the cables. But yeah, the whole case is suppossed to be screwless, I do have one screw in each of my 5.25 bay items though. Wobbles otherwise. Recently added a usb 3.0 pcie card and two usb 3.0 hubs, one front and one back. I only have one usb 3.0 device so far, but I plan to change that. But it's 5 1 tb hdds in raid 5, 2 volumes over 3-4 partitions. 1 os partition, 2 storage partitions, and I think that 100 mb partition 7 makes now. the OS partition is only like 350 gbs.


P.s. How dare you edit my post. :evil: Just kidding, thanks. I would have used the suck-o image host but you can only upload one at a time. And I'm lazy.

Yeah, even having a job now I still like to glue my stuff back together rather than buy new stuff. More money for stuff I really want/need. And even then I tend to buy used and fix it up for cheap. Someday I'll have to get energetic and take pictures of my other computers and post them up, the ones literally held together by duct tape.

time for a little update about my setup... :)

the workplace
Image

may I introduce? Mr. Blue, the main system, on the left, and on the right Mr. Red the home server (case illumination and network cables in matching colors ^^)
Image

TV with 2x1.5TB externals and WD media player, all networked with the main system (watching Giro d' Italia on TV at the moment ^^).
Image

here the externals and the media player with the 8 port hub, doing some file transfers to the encrypted DMZ'd external at the moment, that's why the cables are a bit disorganized. ^^
Image

workplace from my normal POV
Image

inside of Mr. Blue (note to myself: finally remove that damn wire in front of the CPU fan, lazy bum!)

you can bet I am VERY cautious! I am using clay pebbles instead of soil though, so I only have to fill the saucers with water and the plants can suck it up from there....adding water from the top would be too risky.
and yeah...the killer bunny...it guards my system from malware and skiddies when I am away..XD

nice setup you have there too buddy, really well organized...I like that. :D

how's the mining going btw? :-k
