THX ALOT to these guys, they are making this project possible !

OCZ



AMD


Spinnin Wheel


Netshop


Anfi-Tech


EK waterblocks



-Goals-
I would like to develop my previous design, lots of hot air was blown directly onto other components last time, thats gonna change, all the disks will go in the middle module, while the main comps stay in their own on top and bottom, there will be no more "PSU in the top right corner" type of thing, got OCZ on the team this time, and they will provide some awesome custom powersupplies for this project

to sum it up :

* 3 mobo slots (gonna get in a mATX instead of the mITX)
* seperate disk case
* seperate comp case
* watercooled cpu's/gpu's
* TO HELL WITH PLEXI, god i hate that material...
* YES to andonized, cnc'ed alu
* fully welded alu frame

Getting late at my place, gonna do a proper writeup tomorrow =)

Stay tuned! ^^

 

Whoa, it looks insane! I'll keep coming back to this thread.

 

You are that duder who made the 29TB gaming rig right?

Let me ask you one question: Why? Why would you want 30TB of space in your PC? Unless ofcourse you're going to make a fileserver out of this one?

Good luck anyway

 

what the hell are you going to do with this thing?

 

I ALLOW THIS

 

Wow, you got Mankz' approval. This better be good now.

 

moved

 

i love you

 

<3

 

I also have FrooP's love ^^

*edit*

Hardware added .P

 

You're truely blessed.

 

You will be bringing this one to TG10 also, right?

"TO HELL WITH PLEXI, god i hate that material..."

 

Yikes! where are the rads btw... behind the HDDs? Or does every "box" have it's own rads?

 

Crap dude, first a 20tb mod? Now 30tb :S Have u got 50 tb's of storage :S Thats insane

 

It's what the internet was made for.

 

The rads is placed on top of each of the computer "modules" 2x 360 rads in each, check out the 6x120mm fan's on the pics, will go here

 

That brickwork looks a bit messy.

I refuse to comment on the machine itself due to immense jealousy.

 

Aha, that makes sense now

Are you sure you have enough clearance for the air to get out?

 

Nope, not really...

But then again... air easily bends around stuff, so a 360x240x4 cm clearance should be sufficient

 

My approval only lasts so long...

Spoiler

(in other word, get building )
