Pfft, ha, he used Samsung SSDs instead of enterprise-grade Intel DC S3700 800GB SSDs with a real hardware RAID card *and* using one of those drives as SSD cache upon SSD storage *and* maxed out RAID card DRAM *and* watercooled RAID card.

Shoot, he even forgot to get a 4000w 3U UPS. He should have also thrown in there a 5-drive RAID6 using 4TB Enterprise-grade HDDs. He'd have the storage backed up by enterprise-grade Intel SSD cache + be able to lose 2 drives and still live + have 100% chance of calculated recoverability. Should also throw in a separate unit with multiple 4TB drives in a RAID1z3 (or whatever).

Enterprise-grade massive storage in RAID6 with enterprise-grade SSD performance, check.
OS drive with enterprise-grade SSDs in RAID10, check. (Would be total of like 5x 800GB Intel DC S3700 SSDs -- one of them to be used as cache)
Expensive RAID card with water cooling fitting, maxed out RAM, SSD cache module, check. (Card needs to support at least 10x SAS connections)
Huge UPS for clean power, regulated voltage, continuous uptime for at least 30 minutes at max load (4000W UPS might not be enough actually?), check.

I would personally also put that machine on a clothes washing machine rubber mat folded in half (double layer) for vibration reduction, and use rubber face covers for any fans to assist in additional vibration reduction.

EDIT: Still missing a high-end dedicated audio card, network card (perhaps enterprise-grade with multiple interfaces?), and a beefy wireless card that could be excellent for wardriving and radio haxing.

EDIT2: Then need a white van and some magnetic rails / one of those rugged portable server racks. If you can fit all this in a van, and have several different antennas available to be connected to the machine, then this is wicked. Also, need several PS2s to assist in more complicated password cracking.
