Finally, I'm getting a little time to get some work done on my projects (there are three of them).
While this will be far from a full blown custom mod job, there will be some simple techniques that should be helpful to new modders.
Anyhow, what we are building today is the server for my house (thus the "House of" part)
So, the start to any good server is of course 1.2T of WD goodness
Each of these will be housed in a Vantec EZ Swap enclosure
Driving the array is the big Promise Supertrac:
and it is all going in an Aopen HX800 server enclosure:
This is a hell of a nice enclosure. Solid steel and weighs a ton. Unlike my other server-sized cases, this one is long instead of tall. I had originally bought it to put my workstation in but that project never came to pass and until now I'd been using it as a temporary enclosure for test builds (very roomy - easy to work on).
Updates soon. I'm hoping to have this finished tomorrow night at the latest. This will almost be a live worklog.
