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 end tech 1200 watt power supply we've got a dfi x58 board four gigs of ddr2 ram we've got a fairly low-end 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 arica 24 port raid card with 512 Meg's 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 8087 cables to connect to the back planes that are built into this norco chassis so I'm gonna I think that covers pretty much everything I got I got kind of a basic video card in here and this is just an in-progress shot so you can see I've actually just begun to install hard drives in here so I've got two Western Digital 1 terabyte black drives and that's it so far so I'm going to be installing another 22 drives so that means depending on how we configure it we can have up to a 24 terabyte raid zero hard drive partitions so yeah that's pretty cool don't you think and 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 case and like I had this card 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
