    Compared to everyone else here my build is actually modest and doesn't use unicorn shart RGB and ridiculously overpriced EK stuff.
     
    Xeon E5 1650 v2 4.4Ghz 1.35v
     
    SLI GTX 1070 (SLI isn't dead, read below)
     
    48GB Kingston HyperX Fury LPDDR3 1866MHz CL11 (1.35v)

    2x Crucial BX300 in RAID0 (OS)

    ASUS P9X79 Deluxe

    Seagate Barracuda 4TB x2 (All non-OS data like games and programs)

    EVGA NEX 750 G1 Fully Modular Power Supply

    Reflashed Gigabyte AORUS SLI HB Bridge (works with EVGA compatible programs now)

    Creative Soundblaster X-Fi (onboard audio doesn't work)

    2x 240mm radiators, 500L/H pump, 8x Apevia 1350RPM fans, some cheap Amazon waterblock from China, custom mixed fluid (it's safe, don't criticize me)

    Cougar MX-330G

    Keyboard is Corsair Strafe Cherry MX Blue
     
    Mouse is Cougar 700M

    CPU temps are 32c idle and 65c load after 24h Prime95

    Average bench matches OC'd 8600K, top bench matches stock i7 8700

    Yes I'm aware of the CPU bottleneck, I'll be going X299 someday

    Edit: Yes I'm aware the bottom 1070 looks like it's starved for air. it isn't. Max temps while playing GPU-bound games is 72c. Perfectly normal for an air cooled 1070.

    No, SLI is not dead, 83% of games support SLI with positive scaling. Don't ask me for proof, just go on YouTube and look up SLI benchmarks.

    Hardware
    CASE: Fractal Design Node 804
    PSU: Antec Earthwatts EA-380D
    MB: SuperMicro MBD-X11SSH-F-O
    CPU: Intel Core i3 6100T
    HS: Stock
    RAM: 1x16gb Kingston ValueRAM 2133mhz DDR ECC
    O/S Drive: 2x 64gb Sandisk Cruzer Ultra Fit 64gb (Mirrored)
    HDD 1: 7x Seagate IronWolf 2TB
    HDD 2: 1x WD Red 2TB
    FANS: 6x Corsair ML120 + Swiftech 8-way PWM splitter.
    UPS: CyberPower CST1300ALU
    Software and Configuration:
    My NAS is running Freenas 11.2-U3. The drives are configured as a single RaidZ3 pool, so I can suffer up to three HDD failures. I have two jails set up. The first is Plex, which serves all my movies and shows. The second is a Transmission, which runs Transmission, OpenVPN, as well as IPFW rules to only allow Transmission to send and receive data via the tun0 device.
     
    I have a fan control script which is setup as a post-init script that controls all six fans via a single header. I also have a script that runs every ten minutes to check whether the tun0 device exists inside the Transmission jail. If it doesn't, it restarts OpenVPN.
    Usage:
    Media, general file server.
    Backup:
    I have no backups set up. Shame on me.
    Additional info:
    I intentionally built this NAS to sip as little power as possible. I probably could have used fewer drives, but I wanted the redundancy. Th 8th Seagate Ironwolf is currently being RMA'd.

    (Most pictures are from 2017 when I built this)

    Who isn't tho? Who doesn't want to be a rich girl? I mean if I was a rich girl, I would have already either bought an Evo, FTO and/or RX7...

    a rich girl would never drive a stagea (even when it was new) ... most likely a brand new Mercedes or something else expensive, overly complicated and quite crap  
    and eventually crash it cause she mixed up the gas and brake pedals
    NOTE (so people dont get offended ) : not saying that all rich girls are like that ...

    The car alarm is "triggered" and "oversensitive" 
     
    It happened to me once back in high school, me and my friends are playing Badminton in doubles and the shuttle cock hit the car and it triggered the alarm and the service didn't even came from a smash.

    Air works perfectly fine if you're going fast enough.
