    22tb! I'm just hitting 1tb for the first time and i think thats alot

    I know this build is a bit OTT but why do you need 2x500gb on the mini itx when you have another 21tb at your disposal?

    This is looking huge, love the look of it. Great idea for the hd's but why so much storage for a gaming rig. I might use the cage idea for my next mod.

    keep up the good work :thumb:

    Thanks for the touchscreen model grevaeg. This is even more OTT that I thought it would be when I first saw the thread :jawdrop:

    As a harddrive freak myself, this is the coolest mod ever :D I 'only' have 7TB (about 10 disk) so I have a long way to reach you :p But so far its enought, but not for long :D

    How tall is it btw?

    Small update guys,

    Just received my second P5Q premium mobo, GFX blocks from EK. and 6 meter of hosing, should be able to mount it all within this week some place! ^^ Pics coming soon

    Guess the waterloop will be something like this :

    water ress --> pump--> radiator 1--> gfx 1--> CPU 1--> radiator 2--> gfx 2--> CPU 2--> radiator 3 --> ress again

    The ress should work as a decent radiator (4) too, considering the large surface with a decent airflow around it

    I have 4 also and haven't found enough recipes and family pictures to fill a tiny bit of them.

    This should hold every Netflix DVD for the next 5 years. :jawdrop: Did I say that?

    Probably to store music, that way it doesn't interfere with the main rigs.

    I have 1 250 Gb on the H2O-C7 mini-ITX that is partitioned for small Linux OS and a large partition for music. It is intended for my alarm clock. wake to music. All else is on external NAS raids. I can't see the need for 2 drives either. Except "Because I can". That's valid.

    well, its quite simple guys...

    Having the main rigs powered on will easily draw out 1400watts idle... while only having the miniITX on, it will draw about 80watts...

    So... for a 24/7 upload/download, its preferable to just keep the low wattage comp going , while having the others off, and yea, 1tb aint rly that much on a 50/50 fibre connection, it get filled up quite fast 0.o

    Can then just move the files to the main comps when their on :p
