It has now been running untouched since my last update and it has been great! Just thinking about getting RPI 2 to speed up owncloud a bit... It is a shame that RPI 2 didn't come with gigabit ethernet either, and that would have been my main reason to upgrade to it.

Just making a backup of my main pc:s ssd with linux so if anything goes wrong, i can go back to 8.1

BTW there is no 200decibel The theoretical maximum is something like 194, and that is LOUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDD

This just the right way to kill and humiliate the consoles! Starting from the inside Nice!

Good to hear My sata -> usb adapters are stolen from existing external drives but you can get them from t.ex eBay or from your local pc hardware stores

Thank you! It is amazing how capable that small AND cheap computer is. Of course the speed isnt anything special, about 10mb/s but that is fine for me In addition to being a Samba server it is also hosting one website for my mothers work and running an owncloud server which I use with my schoolwork to keep everything synced with different computers. It is overclocked to 900mhz wihout touching volts, it helped a bit with the loading speed of the owncloud web view.

It is intake and I have thought about putting some kind of filter to it. It will just look less nice, but it is probably worth it I'll try to find something today, I think i have some filters left from my main pc

Thanks! I think it looks pretty good too, although there are some gaps here and there and the hinges are not the same model You see, I don't like noise When I was shopping the fan for this I was comparing some arctic cooling fan and noctua, both 60mm. It was a tough decision as the noctua was 15€ and Arctic Cooling was 3€. I thought that I will get mad at noise so Noctua was the way to go. There are still FOUR low noise adapters before the fan I could just have bought one bigger resistor instead of using the noctua ones. Would have been much cleaner and cheaper.

[uPDATE 20.2.2015Final] My Raspberry Pi home server is now finally completed First it was just about trying out something new and more reliable than just our home router with a hdd but after keeping it running for about a year, I decided that it is really going to stay and it needed a nicer case and most importantly, only one psu instead of four I wanted to make it as compact as possible, while still remaining some kind of airflow inside. I think the hardest part was actually the aluminum top and front as making it look nice took a ton of time and a LOT of nerves There were some nasty complications with the varnish on the aluminum so the finish is not as beautiful as it was but I am definitely not going to take the varnish off for third time, it is a real PIA. Thanks to my friend Razbit for providing some of the electronics, soldering those small wires straight to the pcb and making some things not so f*cked up In future I might change the model B Pi to some other small form factor pc that has a gigabit connection but it is not going to happen anytime soon Feel free to comment! Here are some pics: See u around

[uPDATE 20.2.2015] Hello again, the aluminum cover is now finished and is being glued to the rest of the build right now. I just decided to give you some pictures before showing off the finished build tomorrow. I think the aluminum came up pretty nice for what kind of equipment I had It is not perfect, but looks pretty damn good to my eye at least On the other hand, the wooden part of this build is not quite straight I tend to do things a little (but luckily only a little ) f*cked up and I have a motto that I never get anything straight ( In terms of things, not people ) Sooo there will be some gaps between the aluminum and the rest, but you'll see tomorrow I hope ' So here is the aluminum top and front cover:

Yeah, even 80c wouldn't be much for a high end gpu A stock 780 for example would easily do 80c or an Amd R9 290x is 95c out of the box with reference design cooler So you are fiiiine

[update 7.2.2015] Everything is finally ready except the aluminum which is still waiting to be etched and brushed. I have already installed the components in to the case to see if it is working and IT IS! I think it is quite awesome to have all of those things powered with only one psu and have them crammed in such a small case Sorry for the pictures not being that beautiful as the thing was running when I took the pics and it isn't placed where it'll permanently be when ready. There is a switch for the second hdd so that it won't run all the time and is safe from some spikes in electric network

[uPDATE 3.2.2015] The wooden part is now painted and the electric thingys are sent back to Razbit. Also a wooden plate for the Pi itself has been created and painted. Aaaand last but not least I just cut the top aluminum. I am planning to just sand paper it so it would be like brushed aluminum. First I thought I would paint it black but now that the whole case is black, aluminum must be, well, aluminum

Sorry to tell you this but... I think you got ripped off quite bad But good thing is that now you have done something about that horrible, horrible dell devil inside that case.
