What the...? I bet that thing generates a lot of heat! Is is used as a high-capacity email server, perhaps? | |

Bunch of hard drives and a bunch of cooling. I don't even think Bizkitkid could fill all that up.  | |

That was mine, I wondered where it went. Actualyl I had one just about that full when I was chief engineer at a large radio station group. The power supply is not in the picture. It is a special one that sits in it's own cabinet. If is like the one I had it would also have a mini U.P.S. built right into the supply to help stabilize the power. | |

Look in my photo gallery in my profile for that pic. I found it on some other forum one day, thought it was cool. I wish I had that kind of storage space. | |

Oh I bet I could in less than a year.
If I remember correctly the total space was about 3TB. Someone a while ago posted pictures of the ebfore and after transformation. The powersupply I think is either a 550watt or 600watt from one of the top manufactuers. The thing that I am wondering about is what IDE controller cards did he use?
