porn

[YaksAttack]

much rather than the slots on the bottom, i would do another slim fan.

[nightgrim11]

How to i get the gadgets that show the HDD space? i run windows 7 as well and i build computersa yet i havnt figured it out

[Akshay6531]

DOesnt it get overheated 0.0????????????????

[Hyzing]

i was going to build that but the harddrives were 200 so fuck that

[mattdj95]

I am going to definitely building my own pc

[KayferProductions]

how can a project be 1Tb? Hmmm

[loudtrout]

@KayferProductions 1080P HD video can get big, i have experienced that first hand.

[AllRsVids]

Sour about not having USB 3.0

[P2370FER911]

ohhhhhhhhh my good

are you crezy? i love you

[bobman06238]

Oh man all the porn i could put on those!

[Virtuzero]

I can't help but laugh at the fact that in 10-15 years, 100TB worth of space will probably measure up to the size of my thumb...

[354lol]

ME LIKEY

[helloish12321]

is it possible to make two raid zero configurations to converge into a raid 1, so there are two copies of one raid array?

[ErsiNur1]

@helloish12321 I think that is a raid 10.

[roberdude12345]

It o looks like one of those things we used to keep our 5.25 inch floppies organized on our desks back in the day. Amirite?

[vadFANeDotA]

To store.. ehm... FILES!

[mikee1333]

all these in raid 0 wow

[STARSandBARS1994]

Hello Will, my name is Will

[Mdbsup]

I wish I had the expendable income to spend 100 hours and countless amounts of money on custom computers.

[iPhilsFan]

@Mdbsup It takes about $1000 and an hour to build a computer, stop being cheap.

[Mdbsup]

@iPhilsFan He says in the video the project took him about 100 hours, and I've built plenty of computers varying in function and price, but 100 hours for home data storage with a custom built case is just excessive.

[ReturnBaconSquad]

@Mdbsup

@Mdbsup

you forget he also edits and works his own camera's so having to stop every so often and move the camera from one track to another, as he stated in the xbox build: he does it all by mostly remote, but still need to set up and so forth for camera capture.

and some of us who do real mods on cases from scratch do it for the build and creativity not because its excessive.

[Mdbsup]

@ReturnBaconSquad Alright, well back to the OP; all I said was that I wish I had that kind of spare time and expendable income to do projects like that. Also, the excessive comment was directed toward my own life style, not towards people who actually need that type of storage or whatever project they might be building.

[JineshJK]

To run that thing, Windows 7 need 1TB RAM!!!

[MrTpengineer]

Ha! I just got done waching this video lol.

[DehLeprechaun]

Could this set up be altered to be a external hard drive? Also would changing out the hard drives with soli state drives increase the retrieve and write time? Please excuse my noobishness I'm not that good with computers...

[relyt120]

@DehLeprechaun The point of this build is for him to have ample storage and the use of ssd's would either greatly reduce that by creating a bottleneck effect in consern to either price or space, since ssd's (though smaller) would take much more room due to the fact that it would take at least 8 of them to ahve the same storeage as one of the 2tb drives that he has used. Though it is theoretically possible to do what you have suggested.

[DehLeprechaun]

@relyt120 thanks

[aimtodie1]

i want one!

[knuddel123]

Large amount of files = PORN ;)

[basbas63]

movies?? "ughmm porn ughmm" ^^

[Xzilhery]

And a collection of "movies" eh? Wink wink nudge nudge...

[Dragon313035]

have fun upgrading them all to ssd

[EmoticonMayhem]

@Dragon313035 why would he upgrade them all to SSDs? He's going to be reading and writing of Gigabit ethernet and he is running RAID 5 so there will be no speed adavantage and he clearly said that he needs a lot of space

[Dragon313035]

@EmoticonMayhem

why the fuck am i getting a response a month later? theres a better question. and think of the size/price of ssds, theres one problem and the SSDs read/write speed is way faster so if he wanted then he would face that one problem. I personally cant wait for the price to go down

[xCaLLxOFxDuKKZx]

how doesnt that overheat?!

[donte415]

do you sell these?

[Cyrux360]

wowwwww

[bestpctips]

i have never heard of this guy untill he was on newegg and now he is one of favorite channels on my sub list

[KGCinematography]

thats one big easy mac os x server snow leopard

[hardcoregamerhacker]

It a MAD build just one thing i would change the 120m fan i would but a 140m if it would fit :D

[Penguinboy1995]

ya for WD, SeaGate Sucks

[kep67]

wife must have put him out in the garage

[HELLSHYFILMS]

haha he has utorrent.

[Penguinboy1995]

@HELLSHYFILMS utorrent is awesome

[HReality]

OK, is there an actual list of parts he used here.. I need to do something like this for my home...

[arrowboltz]

type gift in front of youtube url

[theyon678]

@arrowboltz what does it do?

[eljefe010]

1:17 porn

[ZombiesOTW]

He's alliance!

[TimmyTubularr]

Can it run Crysis?

[bmw2go11]

@TimmyTubularr crappy onboard graphics.

no

[EmoticonMayhem]

@TimmyTubularr lol, I think bmw2go11 thought you were serious

[TimmyTubularr]

To store a lot of uhh... P.... Files.... Digital video..

[Redguard365]

very nice throw some leds in there and it would be pretty dam sweet

[insanity54]

This guy is my hero.

[canabiz101]

did he said on 3:03 that he is running bit torrent??

[TimmyTubularr]

@canabiz101 Yes.

[thatguy5557123]

@canabiz101 yah he did...idk if he should of admitted that on a legit company vid lol

[karlandjaketv]

i dont get it. so he puts 16 tb worth of storage in there but it only comes up as about 12?

[masik7290]

@karlandjaketv he said hes already using some of the space

[karlandjaketv]

@masik7290 yes i know that but if you looked closely when he was showing the harddrives it said 9.something out of 12.something used

[masik7290]

@karlandjaketv you dont always get what it sais on the drive, ive gotten new hdds that where 200gb and only 189 or something where available

[qwan456]

@karlandjaketv One of the reason is HDD manufacturer base their numbers on 1TB = 1000GB rather than 1024GB, so...

(16 * (1 000^4)) / (1 024^4) = ~14.6TB (rounded up)

Now since Will set up his HDD as RAID5, one of the drive will be used for redundancy.

14.6TB - 1.8TB = 12.8TB

[karlandjaketv]

@qwan456 thank you for clarifying that for me. i dont have any experience with raid setups so i didnt know.

[lestat692k8]

there is just one question that comes to mind! what kind of motherboard is that and where to get it?

[lestat692k8]

that is awesome!! I would love to have that for a home server

[InuyashaIchigoSora]

Absolutely Love your builds. Keep the videos coming. I am looking forward to your next project

[MarkKenny]

Stunning! I'm looking around to build a NAS/Storage array myself cos I don't want to buy a Synology/Thecus/LaCie, but the size of the PC cases I can find my your Beetle look small!

This is genius design. When will you make the drives slot loading? ;-)

[Xaizan101]

...."I use these storage for video editing stuff... etc..."

We know that "etc" is pr0n! LoL ....and he mentioned hosting files in bittorrent...hrmm... so that's how you do it... hahahaha! :P

[apkapk88]

whys it gotta be black...

[ts2101]

someone need s to learn from this guy on how too REALY make a nas...!!!!

[samster284]

@ShITYouWannaKNO Because porn is awesome.

[scottontario]

how do I buy one?? thats EXACTLY what I am looking for!!

[DukeLuke1020]

Thats great that it has LOADS of storage for editing, etc.... but I'm sure the PC is sooo slow that you would NEVER edit any video or anything on it.

[QinX81]

@DukeLuke1020 I don't think it's for editing, just for storage and backups.

[1xtra299]

@DukeLuke1020 i doubt he uses it for editing, probably just for storage

[im1knight]

I'm real curious on how he connected all those hard drives...

where did all the SATA ports come from since the mobo was so tiny..?

[gin4lyfe]

@im1knight the raid controller

[QinX81]

@im1knight He uses a 8 port RAID controller to connect all the data drives, the motherboard has 2 more connectors for the 2,5" hdd and ssd.

[bonnolog]

MUST HAVE MOAR DATAZ

[nictherocker]

LOL thats sick, he could make the case like 3 times longer and add like 16 more hard drives

[frog7227]

where did you get the motherboard please respond :)

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

ME WANTS!

[TimFredlund]

This is configured for RAID5, for anybody who is interested. In the event of a drive failure, it gives him the opportunity to switch out the faulty drive before a second failure can occur. A single failure will not cause data loss in this mode, but if a second one goes bad the entire array is lost.

[Bob8673]

I want it :O

[amoghthegamer]

you guys should do mroe of these guests stuff.

[mowcius]

@OnixRose If you read a bit further you would find out.

He does a decent amount of stuff with HD digital video and he says that a single project can reach over 1TB of data.

16TB (12.7) is not a lot when you talk in terms of the amount of video that can be stored.

@SoylentBreen He is using a 120W DC PSU modded to connect to all the HDDs which as they're green drives, quite happily powers them.

@sciguy14 I think he is driving the LEDs off the RAID controller card although I could be wrong.

[ChadMaestro]

Digital video on an Atom? x]

God that would be an amazing home server!

[rfxn]

@ChadMaestro

It seems from the video he will be using the system for storage and serving the content from the drives, what it renders on/plays back on can be a totally separate system.

[wafflethug]

WOW THAT'S A LOT OF PORN!

[markolo25]

@wafflethug he can also run torrent on it which helps alot :D

[Eroc115]

@wafflethug LMAO

[OnixRose]

I'm still confused as to what that kind of space would be used for o_O

[SoylentBreen]

Great quality build man. How are you getting power to all of the HDD's though? I only saw the little DC power-in on the motherboard. You'd need 10 SATA power connections to get them all going along with the SSD.

[marick626]

Lol, by saying that he uses bit torrent pretty much says that he pirates software. Hell, I know that allot of people do it but its sort of weird to announce it on an official company video like this. Just saying.

[thelimerunner]

@marick626 That's not true. You can torrent a lot of things like linux distros, and open office, and a lot of other open source things. Also a lot of underground music artists release their music for free through it.

[xgraysunx]

So he has 8 2TB HDD but he only has 12.7TB that's actually usable. Thats kinda nuts, the amount of gig lost there. It's almost as if one of those HDDs weren't even in there. Just something I noticed and shocked me.

[yayo685]

@xgraysunx hes got them in a RAID configuration

[PeajZoned]

@xgraysunx yeah it does suck when you think about it like that - losing all that storage. But when one of those drives fails (one of them will eventually) you are going to thank the internets, that you had a redundant array.

[kevink07950]

@xgraysunx It's not nuts at all - 8 drives means 1/8 the time between hardware failure, and losing one of those drives if it's configured as one big concat you'll lose all 8 drives' worth of data.

At home I have a small NAS device with 2 1.5 TB drives and I have them mirrored - halving rather than doubling the risk of data loss. At work I admin bunches of disk arrays whose drives fail *all the time*.

Practically *everyone* using multiple disks has some redundancy and/or striping.

[ProBigi]

i want one.

[firstodd]

haha.. "large amounts of... a.. "files" on my network."

[olesto]

where is the link? I cant see it on the screen :(

[Myztik7]

Is mounting hard drives at an angle such a good idea? :/

[Slash27015]

@Myztik7

I don't think there's any major differense bethween having it standing in a regulare angle, or the angle these drives are in.

It may have a small speed decreasement, but it's a tiny decreasement, and with this many drives there's no possible way you'll feel a differense.

[Myztik7]

@Slash27015 I'm thinking the disks might wobble slightly when spinning up/down if they're angled like that. If that happens it might damage them.

[therealandycook]

@Myztik7 No its not.

[up0]

i've been a big fan of his mods before but this is the first time I've seen him on newegg.

[LC2k11]

@up0 that because newegg sponsored him and gave him the parts

[mastersniper13]

whats the song playing when the black dwarf is spinning?

[mnfchen]

@mastersniper13 Check out his channel. It's the same music that plays in the video showing how he made the black dwarf

[rotinknee2]

A parts list would be nice.

[rotinknee2]

What form factor is the motherboard? where can buy a motherboard like that i have a project in mind but could never find a small enough motherboard and that would work perfect.

[JimmaWetcha]

@rotinknee2 Look up pico-itx and nano-itx boards. they're pretty cool, and you can get them at sites like logicsupply. Com; Depending on your project, you may even wanna go with a netbook motherboard.

[LauxHawk]

What exactly is the purpose of the 320GB drive?

[LauxHawk]

@Chilloutman33 Don't know too much about raid. He said something about bit torrents. Again not too fluent in that field.

[JesusStoleMyWeed]

@LauxHawk it is use as the main drive

[sciguy14]

How are you controlling the LEDs?

[LauxHawk]

@sciguy14 i would like to know the same thing.

[GangiFilms]

I would easily buy one...contact me. Or how can I contact him? This is great.

[asfbi]

alright, dude, holy hard drive space but the form factor is crazy!! just how!!?!?

[mothymothy]

What type of RAID are you using? I hope its not RAID 0! RAID 0 is an oxymoron. Zero redundancy... 1 drive fails, all data lost :(

[Ndragonawa]

@mothymothy He said RAID 5. 1:23 ; )

[r31ncarnat3d]

@mothymothy Since he's talking about video files from his own projects, I'd assume 1 or 1+0. Anyone who goes through all this time to make a custom PC like that probably wouldn't make a dumb mistake like not adding redundancy to his file server ;)

[mothymothy]

@r31ncarnat3d Yea i hope so. I'm thinking its a 14TB RAID 5. If i'm remembering correct RAID 5 is all the drives minus 1 for the total. So 8x2TB - 2TB = 14TB total. Woot!

[r31ncarnat3d]

@mothymothy Sounds like what I'd do. After thinking about it some more, however, I think we can rule out RAID 0, given how they're all Green series drives. Not really the HDDs of choice when you're after performance!

[JesusStoleMyWeed]

@mothymothy damn somebody cant hear

[MultiIPwnage]

Wow, this seems really useful actually.

[werdwerdus]

would have liked instead of the 320GB WD Black drive to have a WD Raptor X (the one with the window) placed in the front of the case!

[anthony360]

where did you get that mother board, if you dont mind me asking.

awesome stuff by the way. that OSXboX build was the bee's knees :D

[gamemaster14neo]

For some reason the look of that computer makes me think of an old fashioned floppy disc box.

[brandonbriggs]

that thing is badass

[JesusStoleMyWeed]

@brandonbriggs no shit

[UnknownLobster]

Thanks again Newegg for having me on, and thanks to all the viewers for their comments!

[wslandry]

All I can say is "WoW" what a gifted smart builder! Just his equipment along is really impressive. Please keep posing your work! Thanks again

[r31ncarnat3d]

I would kill to have that. RAW pictures+FLAC+movies+disc images take up a ton of space.

[timmytime1793]

I strongly suggest every one subscribe to Will he does amazing film work as well as custom fabrication.

youtube username:UnknownLobster

[UnknownLobster]

@timmytime1793 Thanks for the shout out!

[timmytime1793]

@UnknownLobster

no problem

[xXDarkice]

Love the Floppy drive look, so Newegg How much?

How hot do those Drives get and how do they work all tweaked to the side?

[cosmoknight74]

That looks like an old 5.25 floppy disk holder.  Better quality though, and way better stuff in it than a floppy disk holder.

[Airwolf2030]

That is cool & keep up the good work.

[B4TT3RY]

how much??

[supasob]

WOOOW, I WAnt one! a bit bigger box would be nice for better air flow.

Y is no one using SSD's?

[manvelmkhitaryan]

Can you imagine an antivirus scan on it?

[thelimerunner]

@manvelmkhitaryan Considering how long it can take on my 320GB drive, that seems a little scary.

[sciences8]

@manvelmkhitaryan

Especially with that fricken Atom CPU.

[bmw2go11]

@manvelmkhitaryan I bet he has some type of low power firewall /antivirus box right after his internet line that prevents crap from entering his network.

[jjamendoza]

Cool mod.

[dralezero]

im curious on the airflow it doesnt look like air will got between the drives

[voidzoblivion]

I don't think 1 120mm fan is enough to cool all those parts. He should put a fan at the bottom of the case.

[UnknownLobster]

@voidzoblivion I actually left room at the bottom for more fans If after stressing the system I discovered it ran hot. However like i mentioned at 3:40 everything runs cool and further airflow would do nothing but make more noise.

[JesusStoleMyWeed]

@voidzoblivion no dumbass he made a line holes there for heat to travel out at the bottom

[williamkendrick]

its cool for what it is.

i guess.

[tad2021]

Win7 for a FS? eew :s

[ecnerwalgnay]

that's hot, I want it. how much?

[arsenedevos]

@ecnerwalgnay

dont buy it, why do you gonna need this?

[xMistsx]

I don't know. Can all of those HDDs be cooled with that single fan? =\

[scottycatman]

If he sleeved those internal cables, it'd be a flawless project.

[Jeff3210]

Uhh is it safe to have your HDDs at an angle like that? I know they're 5400 RPM and RAID 5 but still...
