I think I'm a bit late but oh well :P

 

I actually use my dad's old laptop for Samba shares. I tried FreeNAS but apparently it has "less than 512MB memory detected" so I run Xubuntu instead  :lol:

Works for me though, I can stream music to my phone and my PC from it and watch a couple movies but I mainly use it for keeping the family photos backed up.

 

Anyway. Looks damn good. Nice work with it  :D

I own some games... not many, but they have taken my life.

 

CPU: AMD A10 6790k GPU: GTX 750 Ti SC (+600 / +135) RAM: 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz PSU: Corsair CX 430W HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda & 60GB Kingston SSD Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 Etc?: Laptop HDD for downloads folder :P

Poor thing has little air intake in there :(

Yes, it does, but the case only has one intake 140 :( but it seems to be okay. the case has rubber seals, so dust shouldnt be such big problem. when it is not summer, the top fans are off anyways :) but with that low power consumption, it is really okay :)

Is it safe to unpower hard drives while your PC is running? :o

Yes, he can set the drive to Hot Swap mode in the Bios.
