Heres the light panel separating the two motherboards..


Some weekend warrior wiring:


HDD Setup:



8*2tb + 4*3tb + 1 ssd for server OS

Sleeving ugly cables to make them look good :



Time for a beer

 

My god that is a ton of hard drives, how many terabytes are you aiming for again? and whats the raid set up?

 

Sweet!

 

8*2tb + 4*3tb + 1 ssd for server OS the SSD is 100gb and im doing raid 5

 

Finally OC'd my computer. Currently at 4.4ghz. Very light OC on GPU as well and bumped the RAM to 16000. Forgot it was at 13333 from factory

 

what processor? I cant wait till my build is done so I can just finally start toying with the numbers..

 

i5-2500k. I did everything with stock voltage, and it's stable, so I'm happy with that. What processor do you have in your build?

 

well thing is.. I have a i7 extreme 3rd gen but I may trade it with a friend to get the 4th generation.. my build is a hybrid build with 2 motherboards.. 1 for workstation 1 as a server motherboard.. its a neat little project ive been working on all year and planning and what not..

 

so who can make me a water cooler setup like this

 

if you can afford it, i can build it. But I'd advise against dyes, most of the dyes (even from big companies like thermochill and phobya) end up gunking up the the fins in the waterblocks, and they occasionally stain the hoses too.

 

how much does it normally run? Im running dual 6870's so I guess I would need to buy 2 cooling blocks?

 

I could but don't do dyes just use LED lighting.

 

-2 water blocks, ~120 each
-5 feet of hosing, ~$5/foot
-8 barbs and clamps (or compression fittings), anywhere from $5-20 a piece
-pump, ~$70 for a MCP355 (you could get the larger 655, but that's a giant waste of space and money for just 2 gpu's. You aren't going to see a noticeable pressure drop at all)
-1 crossfire GPU block bridge ~$15
-radiator ~$60 (for the cheapest 240mm radiator) up to $200-300 for bigger ones
-reservoir ~$50-150


That's not including CPU and any fancy things that you'd want to add,

 

holy crap that is expensive... cancel that then! haha
