Yea but cant do much else with the length of scsi cables, this is not a sata setup. There is 10 drives in this case also of 2 controllers I'd like to see you do better.

That's a hell of a lot of cables. It makes my old server (don't have it anymore) look neat. I thought that my cable management was bad :shakes:. Why do you need that many HDDs?
These are scsi cables not sata they only come in certain lengths and they cost £60 each. Obviously you dont know a lot about scsi systems. I'm wasting my time explaining to you why the cables are the way they are. It would different if it were Sata cable based but it isnt, I wouldnt swap sata for my scsi setups anyday.
Are you able to mount the hdd's in reverse?Quote:

I'm thinking if so - you could most probably hide majority of that behind the case and motherboard panels.
I have looked at that, but im not to worried its cool running and I dont look at the inners too much, i'm restricted by the cable lengths and the number of headers on each cable. if I were tobuy custom scsi cables the price would rocket im sure. For that reason i'll stay with itthe way it is untill I get a Lian ki 343 later.
I think somebody needs to learn how to take criticism my friend. "You don't know much about X related to computers" on a computer forum is probably not the best comment to make. ;)
Bet you get a decent boot-up time with that setup though, huh ? What difference does 15K HDDs make over 10K ?
My son`s PC - ASROCK 939 DUAL SataII and my ASUS A8N32-SLI
No I do its just that cables have to cross as seen in pic with scsi as the controllers are mounted on the bus rather than with sata off to the side. I would like to get a larger case at some point. I have been looking at the Lian li 343.
Anyways back to your question. I wouldnt know its fast as I want it, apart from the pauses reading the controllers in boot each time. So I am not overly concerned about boot time. I just like the responsivness of scsi as opposed to sata.
I get sustained reads of 215mb a sec, but having hardware controllers and configuring them the way I have its extremly fast in loading and saving files.
The difference over the past 10000 rpm drives I have owned is quite a gap in performance. I get 4.6ms access times and hell of lot more speed. Especially over some of the IBM DYDS drives I had.
Just clean the rest of it up and take the critisism :)
very common , but effective
kolombo mate your fan is almost as dirty and covered with dust like mine...but only almost!
@kolombo: a few squirts from a can of compressed air/air compressor on that radiator will improve your temps quite a bit, the fins look to be almost completely clogged :(

Lian Li Pc-70
Yes U know the place, its Putten. Was 7 when I was last in Holland, long time ago! Its just so expensive to travel from here or even buy pc gear here, have a look around this site and you will see what I mean.:down: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/comp...typeid=119&t=3
$138.94 for a Apogee gt anyone? :shocked:
I have just done a big order with performance pc's in the USA and saved hundreds even with the shipping included.
Finally got mine finished. :)
Here's what it looked like before my rebuild:

I made holes in the mobotray, painted the interior black, added NB block (EK), 4.5mm nozzle, OCZ XTC cooler, digital watertemp meter and new Zeus 650w PSU.
Here's what it looks like now:

The only thing i regret is getting this Silverstone Zeus PSU, it's loud as h3ll! :(
I'm gonna exchange the 80mm fan for a more quite one asap.
@kolombo - My friend, you have a major dust problem. A can of compressed air or even a vacuum would work wonders.
