A 4.8-Terabyte Home Brew Server

This home brew project, with its 12 400 gig drives, is frickin' sweet (read the full thread on the story on how this thing started as a 1.2TB server, it blew up, and he's rebuilding it -- I'm linking to page ten in the first link above as it's where the action starts again). I think the thing that impresses me the most about the build is the super-clean wiring and the nicely done homemade modifications.

Well, he cut and redid all the wiring. It's all shortened up and very customized.

Oh- and if you look at this photo he went "total geek", even using zip ties matching the wires he bundled.
