Oh, and why do you actually use the third 80mm fan inbetween the disks there? I think it's not improving the cooling all that much and only adds noise.

I know there are cheaper solutions, but I could not find any NAS drives that supports CrashPlans online backup - also finding NAS drives that support Plex server there are not that many... So to avoid any problems and have all the functions I wanted, thats why I build this (I did not build it to save money).

The last fan is more a "why not" thing, to make sure the air will be moved from the CPU along the HDDs and out the front, the fans are all super extremely low noise so I don't hear them at all. Only thing I hear a little is the HDDs when they are active.

oooh, a Hackintosh! I love 'em

Nice-looking case, though I hate those blue lights, they're so damn bright.. (I prefer red/white LEDs)

Nicely done. My luck with Hackintosh hasn't been so good - but I love the idea.

Typing this from a hack aswell, soon gonne start to build my own case for it.
It really like it, I came from a Mac pro and the speed gain is awesome!
It's just that I've had some stabilitiy issues, fixing them took a hell lot of time.
But hey, I've learnt a lot during that process...
