Dragon Server reborn!

[chut03]

This is my new server/htpc after the parts from the previous one got sold. You can see that my previous designs were carried over, this time with the twin dragons located at the front.

Specs:
Core i3 3220
8GB 1600mhz ram Gskill
ASUS P8H77-I motherboard
Noctua NH-L9i cooler
(2) 120mm fans
(1) 80 mm fan, running on 7 volt
ASUS Xonar DGX 5.1 sound card
Antec Earthwatts 380 watt psu
64GB Samsung 830 ssd
1TB WD Caviard black hdd
CM Elite 120 Advanced
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

All the cables hidden on the right side of the case

Good God its tighter than a gnat's chuff in there..:lol:

It was meant to be lol. At least its very compact, portable, and doesn't take up much space. The ssd and hdd stay at around 32-34C and the cpu between 38-58C, so the air flow is actually quite good, while staying silent.

I'm impressed - I know how patient and dexterous you have to be to put something like that together.

Thanks, took me almost 2 hours to get it looking nice.

Nicely done with the cable management dude. The case looks the danglies as well.

Thanks. I just got a second WD black hdd today, and I will be trying RAID 1 shortly. I'm going to go with software, since built in RAID on the motherboard is unreliable, and I don't have a RAID card (and even if I did, there's no room).
