I've been promising to do this for a while you can see that's a box of hard
drives and here we have that Norco case that I promised I'd do just a stupid
raid build in and that's what I've been working on for the last little bit here
so in terms of the hardware specs we've got an antech 1200 wat power supply
we've got a DFI x58 board 4 gigs of ddr2
RAM we've got a fairly low-end uh Core 2
Duo processor in there and then probably the most expensive piece of this entire
build is this guy right here this is an arka 24 Port raid card with 512 Megs of
RAM on it you can actually replace that with more RAM if you feel like it it's
got a high-end processor and we're using sff 887 cables to connect to the back
planes that are built into this Norco chassis so I'm going to I think that
covers pretty much everything I got I got kind of a basic video card in here
and uh this is just an in progress shot so you can see I've actually just just
begun to install hard drives in here so I've got two Western Digital 1 tbte
black drives and that's it so far so I'm
going to be installing another 22 drives
so that means uh depending on how we configure it we can have up to a 24
terte raid zero hard drive partition so
uh yeah that's pretty cool don't you think and uh I guess that's all there is
to say about it for now we're just going to I'm not sure what I'm trying to
accomplish with this it's just like I had this casee and like I had this card
and I was like okay well what kind of stupid voodoo magic thing can we do with
this and this is what I came up with so stay tuned
