now THAT is one way of using your space to the absolute max :P
i like it! must've been a lot of work trying to get it all in there!
 
Always loved the idea of builds that use space efficiently. I must say that is tight! I envy you for being able to pull that off. great job! :)
 
Quite the build. BTW - what are the CM 4x3 cages for and how are they connected up?

Wow - nice work on those CM units. Any thought though to a NAS solution? That way can be in a closet, basement, somewhere, completely out of the way? I use unRaid and have 40TB available on the network...

Why would you want to hide that? It looks epic!
 
Just for looks - yes, it does look very cool out there... but other options are to hide it all and really focus on the HTPC...
This is not a server. This is a simple USB 10 x HDD. Maximum cable length of 3 meters and only 2 (usb) connector. Connector-1 (4 hdd moviees + Music video clips) connector-2 (5 hdd TV series). Maximally can only be viewed in two TV.
Example: If are watching TV in 1 (movies), it's too 2 TV can only be viewed (TV series). Otherwise you will get a conflict

I always wondered how playstation / xbox could upgrade their consoles to be more powerful and still keep them small..... I think they might wanna get in touch with you LOL

if only, i think the world would come to a stand still if a console ever got actually decent.
