Modified mine today!

Overkill? i think not :D , spent the day modifying and cleaning up and old desk. gave it a coat of black acrylic paint, not a bad restore on the cheap!! i7 2600K, 16GB ram, 180GB intel 520SSD, 3TB 7200RPM , Radeon 7950 video card, Dual HP ZR2240W's 24inch IPS Monitors.

These monitors :cum

Brag much lol?

Probably should be waiting a couple of days after painting it before the monitors sit on it... there is a difference between paint being touch dry and hardening up enough to be durable.

Hope you have some paint left @MTG - I'm guessing that the monitors will be stuck to the desk by now :p

Nice monitors though :worship

Said little bumps will be permanent bumps on that desk pretty quickly. Need give that kind of thing a couple of days to harden up before you put anything on it.

Bloody kids and computer bits. You'll all get over that shit one day and start keeping computers for more than 10 minutes.. by then you'll have found a use for them that isn't games :P
Now stop bullshitting on and go find me somewhere cheap to get 2 x 4TB hdds, 16GB DDR3... and a 120GB SSD :P

Meh.. I only want to use an SSD for swap space as things get a little temperamental after I pull it out of suspend. The 2 4TBs can go into my media server. I'll grab its 2 2TBs for this machine. That'll let me get rid of some externals :P

So do I lol. Just don't need to root around with RAID arrays (pain in the arse to rebuild with really large file sizes lol).
Just need them 4TBs to half in price ;)

MTG · May 6, 2013

yeah i don't really need raid but i like redundancy , hot swap yum

Backups to externals.. or to a different machine offer the same level of redundancy + the ability not to waste hours waiting for a RAID to rebuild :P

JimmyDang · May 6, 2013

It's okay..

MTG · May 6, 2013

Any good raid setup will be completely usable during a rebuild!
