You guys helped my on my HTPC http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1672354&highlight= and my 32TB custom array http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1672351&highlight= .. so I'm coming back to you for additional advice. I am building a new workstation for doing Photoshop. I may play games on...

Wouldn't me compensating for something mean that I would actually say the opposite.. like "I'm rich bitch!"?... I was basically saying that I am NOT rich.. I am NOT better than any of you.. I am just a normal tech geek that has fun.. There is no compensation in that... sorry to dissapoint.

LOL.. I was massively inebriated in most of them... I usually like to be behind the camera.. I am now trying to smile more.. Sorry.. those pictures and videos don't go online..

Thats when I send myself a link via email to check when i get home..

I learned a long time ago, that the fastest way to lose a girl is to talk about banging them on the internet.. Helps u stay less forever alone. :D I will say that the girl with the most pics, the girl with the fairy back tattoo.. that is my ex girlfriend of the last few years.. One of the...

Weirdly.. The majority of people are going to the gear.. It's making me rethink my whole "nerds love p0rn" stereotype.. LOL Check out the views (I made the screenshot SFW):

LOL.. Thanks.. I wish I had that view right now, but it is mad hazy out.. You can see more of my view in the other window pics, as well as some of the shoots on my roof.. I pay out of my a$$ for this apartment.. but in the end.. worth it. Oh..just found this video I made last year on my roof...

That's what "(Pics may be NSFW for some places.. there is no nudity though)" in the first post means.. lol Hope you didn't get in any trouble though.

Ok.. Start here: http://imgur.com/a/PgZIS Turn right past the first leg Then turn left when u get past the right leg. If you get to the breasts, you've gone too far. :-P

Ok... We are still going over our costs.. Making this as a one off, is definitely more expensive than setting up a quick line of them.. There are a bunch of modifications that will be made if we set this side business up that we didn't do in the first build: Less gaps More solid Better...

Someone green lasered my apartment a few weeks ago for a few min.. I'm +30 floors up.. so someone had to be that height or higher to see inside.. Wondering if it was you.. lol

No porn.. Just have lots of hot friends.. who like to take pics.. So I build a studio to take pics of them.. lol best thread of the year.. oh my..::blushes..:cool:

ok.. answer to a couple questions.. Are the bikes for sale: It is the back of a Ducatti dealership/service center. So, technically.. yes.. That's where we got the material and the machinery from.. Are there plans for this project: In my head.. lol. My friend and I did it off the cuff...

no.. I just work hard, play hard.. My salary is probably the average from all of yours..

I can get in there if I need to.. but I would rather not.. lol

Screws: http://www.mcmaster.com/#socket-head-cap-screws/=g6io8x But I am not opening it.. lol. I can easily replace the drives, and that is all I need..

Thanks man.. They don't have .75.. So I got 3Ware CBL-SFF8087OCF-10M 1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial ATA Cable x 6. The two drives at the end had to have long cable.. the others could have been shorter.. The case is sealed pretty tight.. so not changing it now.. But...

No nip, then not nude.. that's my motto.. lol Thanks!

Um.. Both? lol.. I'm bored at work.. and I just made my imgur a pro account.. so I uploaded some of my shoots, some of my friend's pics, my HTPC/Battlestation, and my RAID array last night.. I figure, there's gotta be at least one picture in there that will make you guys happy.. And if so, my...

Update: I posted the finished product here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1038366169

I started a thread last year with requests for advice on this.. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1570694 I actually built it about a month after, but I never had a chance to show it off... Specs: Chenbro UEK-13601 SAS Universal Expander Six Norco SS-400 4Bay Modules A nice amount of...

The SS-400 has a molex conector on it for power.

LOVE the fans.. LOVE the PSU.. Changed to those.. Any other advice? Buying EVERYTHING on Sunday. The width of this should be 26" wide.. and only about 12" deep!!! Compared to 25" of the Norco!!!

Awesome.. I will check out the PSU and fans in a few min. The chenbro has a 24 pin connection from the PSU on the board. So I can plug directy into the PSU. Any other input?

Ok..u guys are gonna HATE me.. LOL.. I took all the advice from you guys, and tweaked it a bit with a friend to where I was happier with the results.. I am basically going to have my boy with a CNC machine create a custom case for me that will be half the depth.. As I really do not need...

Ok Ok.. I see the light and your points.. The ServeTheHome.com website explains a LOT! The network option is not the way I want to go.. But the Norco option isn't bad.. I like the price saving, but it seems like such a huge waste of space. The Norco will be 2/3 empty. I have a Manhattan...

If I got a 10GB card, I'd still need to get a 10GB switch.. That would be an extra (minmum) $2,500.. plus 2 cards at $200 each, would be $3,000 total. And that doesnt include the extra cost for CPU, motherboard, memory, etc for this server, plus the monthly power cost for an additional PC...

I want all the hard drives on the same machine.. I will be doing a lot of file processing such as having a tuner card with 4 signals recording, converting video formats, uncompressing files, etc etc.. Doing that over a gigabit network will still be a tenth of the speed than doing it on the...

So, in my current home server, I have twelve 1TB drives on 2 3ware SATA Raid cards. This is in a full tower case. The drives are pretty stacked up, and there is no room for any upgrade. I have filled the almost 9TB available, so I am looking to purchase something by the end of this week. My...

Haha.. purposly tilted so my neice can easily put games in when she visits.

Actually, my PC is near silent. I have rubberized screws holding the hard drives in place, a fanless PSU, and a near whisper silent CPU fan. All the stock case fans have been replaced with more silent versions. With no other gear on in my living room but the PC, the room is silent. I...

I had checked the review of the SuperMicro trays.. The fan in that unit is excessivly loud.. As well as the failure lights not working at all with 3Ware RAID arrays. Again, a 4U rack server would not work as it will look really akward on it's side. Nice 12 bay case...

Yes.. I had thought of using 4U cases with massive amounts of hard drive slots, but there is no way I can place that below my TV. Even if I put it on it's side, it will look ugly as hell.. Here is my current setup. You can see the current workstation that has 12 hard drives currently in it...

That model is no longer for sale.. But now you have me thinking.. I can do four 3.5 drives in three 5.25 slots Or.. I can do a five 3.5 version in the same number of slots. (more expensive though) So, with the first one, I would need to find a case that has thirteen 5.25 slots.. As...

I got a PM so, I'm gonna answer some of the questions here: Yes, that is a lot of drives for a PC.. But I do have over 12TB of files currently.. and am sure to fill these new drives up.. I know that throwing eight 1TB hard drives in the server may seem wastefull... But I think it will be a...

So, I am upgrading my current media server. The current specs: Intel i7 3Ware 9650 8 port Raid card Twelve 3.5" 1TB Hard Drives Fanless ATI dual HDMi video card I have 8 of the 1TB drives hooked up to the 3Ware running RAID 5 (for storage) and 4 of the remaining 1TB hooked up RAID 5 to...

I have 2.5TB I need to backup off my server. I already am using Microsoft DPM and Shadow Copy for my recovery needs... But we want to save data to an external HD to take home weekly for off site protection. I bought 2 external USB drives, and have been manually sorting the data to be copied...

The madness has begun. Everything has been ordered. I have already started getting stuff from newegg ONE day after order... WOW.

I understand everyone's point of 2 machines, but that would build on cable clutter, extra accessories, power requirements, etc. Worst case scenario, if I needed just a multimedia player, i could get a Popcorn Hour A110. But I want an All in One machine. Any other suggestions?
