Yep, that nailed it.

What worries me is that the Hard drives all have names xD.

Looks like someone is doing some file hosting.... Send in your hard drive and for $xx / month I'll let ya host it on my uber conxn.

 

[Toxcity]

That is pure pawnage on wheels!

 

[ady_flame]

omfg, thats bigger than my house !

 

[equk]

are those PSUs Q-Tec's?

what's wrong with a nice rackmount with hotswap?

that just looks a mess, those drives all seem to be labled tho any RAID arrays?

looks a bit of a home mockup fileserver. Wouldn't like to try to get a broken hdd out of it tho. It's not really built for maintenance is it? bet the admin has a hard time whenever something falls over (breaks) inside of it.

Drooling imensely.

It isn`t that big a storage deal, in the majority of these case up to half of the drives are there to prop up the others.

I`d personally be hesitant to have so many in one unit for practical reasons. Infact I feel sorry for the mobo.

But it looks soooo nice. lol

that's a real server

easy to maintain, etc.

Really not sure why people are "drooling" over the one in this thread. It's just a wooden box with 2 systems and a stupid amount of harddrives crammed in without the thought of maintenance

:argue:

but to be honest, your not gonna fit the above in your bedroom easily!

 

[Rastalovich]

There is a major difference price wize too.

I think it is that fact that most people have 1 system and 1 harddrive just sheer numbers, but I mean who doesn't want a ton of storage.

I don't 'need' loads of storage.

I have a 320gb hdd with windows and linux and have used under 100gb. I don't see why people need loads of storage really.

i beleive torrents has something to do with it
