Wow that's an insanely sick rig... but I have to ask, why do you need/want 9TB of storage with raid 0 speeds? Why not use another drive and use raid 5? I mean I know you said you have it backed up to a server, but it just seems to be asking for trouble :P

 

But out of curiosity, what speeds are you getting with that raid 0 setup?

 

really though that's an amazing rig :P

Thanks for so many pictures! :)

The carbon fiber goes so well with the sabertooth motherboard.. It's amazing! Also.. How long do you think it took to water cool your system and how much money for the water cooling components? I'm thinking about doing it too. Thanks!

Thanks mate, really appreciate your comment! I decided to put the three HDD's in a RAID 0 really just to experiment and experience the speed increase as it was the first time I had done this. Coming from using a laptop with a 5400rpm drive to having a Samsung SSD and a RAID 0 setup was just unbelievable. I was getting between 390 - 430Mb/s read and write to the RAID. Everything is backed up though to my server which runs RAID 5, so if a drive in my rig dies I'll just have to replace it then transfer everything back over. Thanks for checking it out my post!

Words cannot explain how jelous i am.

Don't be jealous mate, you could make one yourself. This took me 10 months from when I first became interested in computers, researching all of what the parts were, then choosing them as well as saving. Wasn't a one week thing. You can do anything you set your mind to. Thanks for viewing mate!

Yeah raid speeds are nice. Out of curiosity, what's in your server?

Thanks mate, I really wish I knew what I was doing with a camera so I could of taken some better pictures, was just using my S3. Yeah I agree, with a Sabertooth board which is just friggin' sick in a any rig, wrapping the case in carbon and putting carbon wrapped acrylic panels throughout to tidy things up would look mad. Was very happy with the result in the end. Mate honestly to water cool this took me roughly a span of 10 weeks, mainly due to spending so much time at work. That is from putting in the first loop, to waiting on parts and trying to plan out how everything was going to fit for the green loop. I probably just spent more time just staring at the computer just thinking about how I was going to run everything out then I did actually putting it together. Total cost for all water cooling parts would of been a tad over a grand, not exactly sure but roughly that. Fittings added up real quick. Anyway mate and other Q's feel free to ask. Thanks for checking it out!

Ok, so this will be the next thing I post up in the next week or so. My home file server is a 5x3TB 15TB RAID 5, so 12TB usable space, in a Bitfenix Prodigy case using an Adaptec 6805 RAID controller card. Keep an eye out for it, will have a build log for that too very soon.

H-o-l-y crap. Brilliant build, I'm sure you are very proud of it.

Cheers mate, yeah I am very happy with the end result, never thought I'd own something like this a year ago from now, funny how things go sometimes. Anyway thanks for checking it out mate!

pretty cool looking but what a rat's nest of fittings

Anything built with screws is meant to be disassembled.

Just wondering do your tactical tracers run with each other? I have 4 sticks of them and 1 is not moving like the rest of them.

Yeah mate they do, google 'Ballistix Mod' and download the software utility if you haven't already done so, allows you to customize the LED effect. Hope this helps. Thanks for checking it out!

Ohok, hmm strange, sorry mate though I'm not expert really when it comes to RAM. Might just be a dodgy stick?
