    Looking great.:D
    Did you decide against fiberglassing the cardboard tube? -I was thinking putting some moisture-resistant wallpaper on the tube first would give you a nice finish.

    Fiberglass pulled the pipe to a egg-form, so i threw that away and made the walls in 2mm plywood and 2mm plastic instead :)

    Going for less power in this machine,

    Found some more memory, so now i got 8GB ram on this board. Would be more than enough for what i´m gonna use it for :)

    Specs.
    AMD APU C-60 1.0GHz Dual-Core
    AMD FCH A50M (Hudson M1)
    Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 6290 GPU
    6 x SATA 6Gb/s port

    And... 4-6 2tb drives, depending on space and heat issues. Not gonna raid it, since i have another server as backup for important stuff + cloud backups.

    Some size comparing to a 3,5" HDD
    Its not that big :)

    Very nice. I too have a soft spot for Cray's. Who is the best company to get the sheets of plastic from here in Sverige?

    Subbed.

    Its putty-time, adding some bondo and sanding it.

    All walls done, and the floor is on.
