Tell me what you think
 
Intel SR1560sf barebone found on fleabay brand new shipped $145
2 Xeon 5450 3ghz quad core match pair $36
16 gb 8x2 gb FB-Dimm $92
2 250gb HD $40 for both
Slim Dvd-rw from old laptop

I have an old montain mods Hg2o case and the MB didnt fit
[e-atx size] Call montain mods and they wanted a lot of $ to make the case bigger (bigger tray and case spacer) or buy a new case that would fit that board thats were i got all the 120mm fans from. I was able to build this cheaper than a new case. Sorry I dont have build pics. My 10 year old love this
If you want to check out the MC server the ip: Bullseye.ddns.net . The next thing is put a face of a slime and creeper on the sides.
 
And the Size is 18 1/2 inchs square and its on small casters wheels I found cheap at the Hdepot
I just cut the Hard drives and front pannel off and made it so it would slide under the tray. This server sounded like a vacum cleaner too loud for a kids bed room.
 
Looks really good. I appreciate your work and will pay you bundle of thanks for sharing this and inspiring us for DIY.
 
Kind of looks like a three-eye'd creeper head. How fitting!

Nicely done.
