So I've been working on it for almost 5 years now. Just been letting the thing sit in idle though but it is time to revive it and finish it.
I have an old Labatt beer keg that I got out of an apartment I rented years ago. It was unusable and unreturnable so what to do with it? Well, I've decided that it'll make a nice home to a 24-36TB server system.
I am doing a complete custom fabrication of the interior housing for the parts and will definitely post pictures of it on my site and add the link later.
Here is a list of what is being used for PC components (all from NewEgg unless specifically noted):
2x ASUS C60M1-I AMD Fusion motherboards
12x Hitachi Deskstar 2TB hdds
12x Rosewill 10" SATA-III angle-flat data cables
2x 8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 RAM
2x SeGoN 8GB miniDing micro flash drives
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
picoPSU-150-XT + 102W Adapter Power Kit from Ituner Networks
Cage system parts (all from Menards):
1/8"x24"x24" steel perferrated sheet (x2)
1/16"x3/4"x3/4" 8ft aluminum angle (x2)
#8x32 1/2" machine screws with locknuts
Total cost: don't care as long as everything works.
