I'm so jelly

Thanks, much appreciated! If you really wanted to, you could build

something similar for quite acceptable costs these days. Use an AIO

instead of a full loop, leave out the HDDs if you don't need or can't

afford them, and the rest would be primarily a matter of patience

to get done. :)

Long-term thinkign is always good. After all, I've been planning and

working on my other project (HELIOS) for several years now, and am

still not done. :D

Yeah, it is rather neat as long as you don't need any expansion cards.

I have seen people put a 360 into the front, but then I would have

needed to work some serious magic with drive cage placement, so placing

the radiator at the back worked out rather nicely in this instance. :)

 

Is this legal?

Sssshhhhhh... :ph34r:

Take it from someone who's in the same house as the systems at the moment: ZEUS > HELIOS ;)

perhaps I was wrong as I am about half the time

@alpenwasser not as awesome as helios but still a really cool build  :)

Thanks, much appreciated!

And yeah, they are of course two vastly different builds, and HELIOS is just, well, HELIOS. :D

I must say I'm still extremely proud of ZEUS though and still love looking at it. It's not as

ambitious, but the execution turned out very much to my liking, so to speak. :wub:

EDIT:

perhaps I was wrong as I am about half the time

Haha, no worries, in the end this very much comes down to personal preference, there is no

right and wrong (at least not in my humble opinion). Aside from that, since MG has seen both

systems in person, it's quite a different thing than on the pictures, no matter how well you

try to photograph them, it's just always different in real life.

 

 

EDIT 2:

Oh, before I forget: I made a pdf of this build log to practice my LaTeX, for those interested:

no gpu?! why?????

Because it's a media PC and file server. The integrated Intel graphics is completely sufficient and therefore buying a dedicated GPU would have been waste of money. ;)

Besides, I have a Titan in my main rig which I use for GPU computing, so that's where I go when I need GPU power... :D

I've also put spoilers in your post to prevent the page from being needlessly long.

Yupp. People should learn to edit their quotes.... and maybe read what usage a system has before posting questions. (they might actually find answers already included in that information)

Love the PDF idea alpenwasser. Could come in handy....for many reasons.  :D

Haha, it's OK. I've answered the question so many times by now it almost feels like a ritual. :D

Thanks, nice to hear. I got kinda bored of only doing project reports for college in LaTeX, so I thought I'd practice on something I'm a bit more passionate about.
