Blackhole

So i was doing some work on my NAS which had a bad fan in the PSU, and after sometime the fan just wasn't cutting it anymore got to the point where it didn't even spin properly on its side. I just finished replacing the fan with a Delta fan i got a fair while ago now, which by the way is pretty loud (4000 RPM, 120mm).

Though i would join the forums make this my first post, throw some pictures up for you all to see and explain it!

Specs:
ASUS M4N82 Deluxe

AMD Phenom II 965 C3
7GB DDR2 (667 or 800, who cares anyway)
2x Intel Desktop Gigabit NICs PCIe
2x TP Link Gigabit NICs PCI
3x Seagate Barracuda 2TB
2x WD 80GB Caviar Blacks (1 IDE, 1 SATA)
160GB WD Caviar Black IDE
1TB Seagate Barracuda

Other Noteworthy Items:
COM Port
3x Hotswap SATA Bays
Lots of fans :D
Cable Ties
2x 8GB USB Flash (1 for OS, 1 for Jails running on the OS)

About:
Well having a NAS is very handy, and the best kind of hardware is the hardware you build yourself plus commercial NAS systems are overpriced i think. This particular NAS system runs FreeNAS 9.10, and well does the usual thing you would expect from a NAS which is store files, share files, etc. Most of the installed HDDs are in RAID arrays using ZFS, if anyone is interested ill post more details on what RAID levels i am using and a bit more in depth information about the setup on the software side of things.

Why would you use a Delta fan as a PSU fan?! 

Anyways this build looks, weird. But I kinda like it.

You used a Delta fan and are complaining about the noise? Lol, I'm surprised your system isn't soaring through the air.
