Very curious, how come you need 6x6TB HDDs..? I can understand why anyone would want that kind of  SSD setup (Nice choice on those btw ;)) but the HDDs I'm a bit confused about. Sorry if this has already been answered btw lol

 

Am loving the pictures so far and the first thing I noticed was the storage, X99 Builds are beautiful! :D

Looking forward to seeing it when it is complete!

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

Oh I see, that's understandable.

Is it >JUST< Video Editing? No web-browsing/gaming?

 

Also.... what software do you use? :P I tend to do a bit of video-editing here and there too lol.

It's consider my main PC( Web, Video & Downloading). Gaming is on my other PC which has a GTX 1080(Skylake Build). I have allot of tools, each for each step of the video process.

 

I should start to use H.265. Which would reduce the size. It's not widely accepted codec yet.

Ooooh! Sounds very nice! :D

Wish I could get a GTX 1080 Build to go with my 4k monitor lol, too high in costs though (Obviously) . and Instead, gonna try and upgrade my current PC when I get around to building up the budget :P. Will probably do a Build Log on it I suppose

Started to build my PSU cables:

....

To me it looks like you're not doing the crimps right and therefore ruining your cables. Don't put your crimper all the way up to wings on the side as this will crush the two tiny wings facing upwards.

Maybe have a look at this vid:

Theirs been a few changes.

 

1. The Extended Top is Out - Replaced with another Pedestal (Due to the difference is about 3" or less)
2. Case will now be a Dual Pedestal with SM8, Both will have radiators.
3. The top will Pedestal will now have two 480 (I think I'm going with EK XE Rads, Since I have no need for Multiport in that area).
4. The Bottom Pedestal will contain PSU, two 360 Rad (Hardware Labs SR2 ML (Already have it). Plus Flex-Bay Harddrive mount.
5. I May do Push/Pull if I can afford it. LED Fans(Riing 12) in front and Corsair ML Pro in the back.
6. Will be using four SPLITTY9 devices to control all the Fans.
7. SM8 case it self will only have a 360 Radiator & my fan Controller.
