Just installed my new test server with some dual 19" NEC monitors on arms that were VERY cheap on ebay :D

T-Legs all the way, but they cost extra which is annoying ...

the photos are taking standing on top of my bed, so the room is actually fairly big - it's just a sink in there, there's no toilet/shower and it's NOT a prison cell!!! i'll make some pictures of the other side of the room seeing as everyone is so interested! xD

Ikea galant t-leg + half round extension piece + a monitor stand I made from an extension top + Capita 16mm legs. Effektiv cupboards + grundtal lighting. Pretty pleased with it, quality of surface is yet to be tested though, although it looks a bit fragile :(

the Antec 1200 has 12 5.25" bays, so if you use 4 * 4-in-3 bay adaptors you can get 16 drives in there! but it's a pretty large case alternatively, the Fractal Design R3 is fairly small and has 8 x internal 3.5" bays and a few 5.25"

It's my bedroom, the picture are taken standing on the bed! For some reason someone installed a sink in the room ... although it's useful because I live in a big house with a few other people so it's good to be able to brush teeth etc. without clogging up the main bathroom :cool:

Rearranged and got some nice new Ikea furniture!

Yeah, unfortunately it needs 1.4v, its not a brilliant clocker. I reduced it to 1.385v and it wasnt prime stable :( I'll check the PWM stuff out, see if he can hook the fan up to another header.

Measured using CoreTemp Will check thermal compound

I upgraded my friends pc with an ATI 5770 graphics card, and he only had an e4400 CPU and didnt have enough money to upgrade, so I overclocked it to 3ghz. Problem is, the load temps were really bad, 60c idle, sometimes up to 90c when testing in intelburntest so I had a look at the HSF (intel...

Need to sort out those missing screws! :o

I'd recommend the lancool (lian li) K7, aluminium so nice and light, and has 5 HDD bays so you could have 10tb with 5*2tb.

I am yes, but im not too worried about it. Any really critical data is already backed up elsewhere anyways. Plus if I lost more than 1 drive, you only lose the data that was on the drive that actually failed, as its not striped. So I think if you want a very large amount of storage at a low...

Updated mine to 20tb, and changed to unRAID :D

The main thing I would worrry about is making sure your drives are going to be cooled well. The antec 200 would probably be a good choice, you can have 6 hard drives in the front cooled by 2x 120mm fans. Also you can hot swap a drive in the front :D
