Hi, welcome to my crude server project this will be quite short acctualy because i already build a bluk of it not really fair but oke... 

i want to build a web server at home with an atom 330 wich is in order an is comming in next week and i firist tought i would build it in a cardboard box because of short budget but i now have build a case out of lego's i played with those YEAARSSS ago so noone uses them so i put them to use  :)  now for the foto's of the case but first i got a good deal on an atom 330 board with 2 gb ram and a psu for 25 euro and i realized that the sata lead would not reach the hdd outside of the lego case so i made my own little sata power adaptor from an old laptop psu look at the pics!! those are comming in the next post wait!!!

huh

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

you shouldn't really be running a hard drive vertically...other than that, pretty sweet little build :)

I am a member of the PCMasterRace. I am terribly sad to announce that I own a PeasantStation 3 Super Slim. it's in a drawer away from my glorious PC.

Orientation of a hard drive has never been shown to have any affect on performance or life span of the drive. 

 

If it did, then people would never be able to place their laptop on their lap or on top of any sort of laptop stand or cooler. None of those things are level surfaces.

 

Really, the hard drive doesn't care. There is a LOT of force moving the read/write heads (compared to the mass of the arms). Seriously, it takes a good bit of force to be able to move them as quickly as they do. The arms are so light and the part that moves them has to move them so fast that they don't have a concept of gravity. They've never noticed it.

 

If you think the issue is with the disks, whatever angle they start spinning in is the position they will want to stay in. This could be at any angle/orientation. They don't care, it just takes a bit of oomf for you to change their orientation once that momentum builds up.

I'm sorry. It must be my misinformation. I have read somewhere that the head of the pin is so fragile that putting the hard drive vertically will cause the head of the pin to move and make the platter unable to be read. Thanks for setting the record straight :)

Love the lego enclosure!

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei
