Nothin fancy but cleaned up for air flow, still have to filter and insulate for noise

That's pretty cool how you braided the cables. Looks nice.

This is the soundproofing I used, lighter then Dynamat and easier to use.

looks great.
How is it running?

Clean work...Love the braiding..

Martiangod......that braiding is way too cool! Nice job. You shouldn't have a problem with air flow. :)

After reading Roundey's thread I set up DNS on the box also, Boy, that speeds things up. A great addition to the other services running on the box, should have done that years ago:)

And the 450 with RAID 0 works great, just a piar of 5400 RPM 15 gigs, I LIKE :)

Martiangod, I'm glad it helped you. Having DNS local and a cable connection my web pages open up insanely fast. :D I just noticed you are useing NT. I don't really have as much experience in NT as I do Win2K, but if you need any more help let me know. A couple of the guys I work with are MCSE's in NT. I'm only a MCP in Win2K so far. That will change soon. :)

Ahh yes, the pride of having your own home built server.

I have 3 of my own

1 web server
1 Game server

all in headless- op mode
