Well that sure was a short build log.

lol, he was trying to "build" up hype 

Looks like the 4TB are the sweet spot on price.

I would go with the 4 4TB drives instead of 7 2TB.

If I did my math right You could do a Raid 10 and get 8TB of usable space or just do a RAID 5 and get 12TB. (raid 10 is the safest and will probably be the fastest.)
This will cost $70 less then 7 2TB and give your the same or more storage and leave you will spare bays for future additions.
You also have less risk of a drive failure because you have 3 less drives in your setup.
 

well, if you want the most capacity out of those 6 remaining drives, you'll need to go RAID5. Seagate sells 2-5TB 2,5" SATA drives, so you could use a few of them. The 5TB ones are about $200 each, 2TB is about $100. 
 
With 2TB drives in RAID5, you'd get 12TB-2TB for parity=10TB of usable space. This'd cost roughly $500. That's with consumer drives though.

This is turning out to be an amazing piece of art! I really respect the amount of time you spend and your attention to detail. This build log is a huge motivation for us all to be more meticulous with our own builds and I hope to see more great work from you and everyone else here! I don't have the most expensive build and I haven't put a lot of time into it, but following this thread has inspired me to at least organize my build and I am excited to show off my work, even if most of the stuff here is way ahead of mine.
 
Much props and much love man!

Nice setup!

Sorry if this idea is to futuristic for you old folk, but I'll be waiting around for an Ultrawide 4K ???

I swear it won't fit.
 
The PCB of the Strix is way bigger than a reference one and the mounting points are different

And they said that you couldn't fit a 3*140 rad on a 50 dollar case

Update 14
 
Some more pictures.
Final pictures are coming later this week!

Ones again HUGE thanks to Aquatuning for making this build possible.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sick deal! Im lucky enough to have a Microcenter 10 minutes from me in Jersey. I just picked up a few MSI 1060 Armors for my gpu mining rig.  Enjoy your card man!

Interesting spot for the rad, I'm very excited to see this completed. Cool stuff so far
