Yes, Though it was not very hard, Since I took this picture it is now upto 12 hard drives (11x1.5 TB + 750 GB), I setup a mini radio station that broad cast on 87.50 fm, with remote control for android phone (XBMC) so i can select what music(and video) is playing, I now have all my torrents running off this box, and it has all my classic games on it (NES, SNES, N64, + others), I have removed the AMD II 6000+ processor, and placed a semprom in it instead clocked at 2.2 GHz, my current power consumption is at 180 watts active, 95 watts with the drives spun down. The only real disadvantage I have with this over my unRAID setup is the fact that I cant mix drives anymore. Which is not really a problem since I sold off most of my smaller 250-500 GB HD, and I took all my 1 TB and setup a array on my person PC. And for anyone wondering it takes 22 hours for me to grow my array when adding a disk, and I can still use my network storage during that time, rebuilding (due to lost disk) I do not know yet. With the new 3 TB disk being under $150 on sale its just a matter of time until I upgrade again.

Well this is my rig, originally it was built in this 16 drive server, but the motherboard went, and I found that the power supply is too loud, if some one wants to buy this case off me, make an offer, its just collecting dust now. The OS is not unRAID like my last build but Mint Linux using Webmin and mdadm for raid. + XBMC for HD playback, the setup uses 4 120mm fans at low RMP so it is almost whisper quilt, ( I Have to turn off my ac to hear it) Local READ/WRITE Network READ/WRITE MY new rig. uses 6x1.5 TB + 750 GB hard drive, I am waiting for 2 more 1.5 TB hd that I rma due to the fact they failed my drive testing close up on the drives note the custom power cable I made, also there are 2 rear mount 120 mm fans, and 2 front mount 120 mm fans (not in picture) -The case is an old speaker box with a 2 blown speakers in it, It can hold 22 Hard drives and only cost me $20 to build (including the speaker box) Full picture And heres a picture of my external drive cooler, which cost $7 to build
