That is insane.. I wonder what kind of power supply it would take to run all those.

How heavy is that???

EDIT: And if one of the HDDs dies, imagine having to check them all to see which one it is.

I think it may be an enermax 550watt.

So 25x120GB = 3000GB = 3TB :confused:

Damn that's some storage.

I would like to see more pics of the mobo and CPU. I wonder where the other 2 drvies are, I can only count 23:confused:

I'll bet that thing weighs 100 pounds:eek:

my question is as follows:

Why would someone with that much money to waste, not simply buy a case that could really hold all of those drives, and provide better airflow.

That would be hell to defrag wouldn't it ? :D

I just picked up a Diamond Max 9 120GB myself, let's see how this baby performs then we can talk about adding more... just not that much more.

A very good question...I don't see how those fan can even aqueeze air between the hard drives. They are basically stacked on top of each other in that case, lol.

that is retarded, who the heck needs 2.6 Terrabytes o space for a home system (if it weren't a home system, then I'd think it would at least be running scsi drives, and maybe be in a more respectable case. Or would just be a NAS rahter than a mess of ide hard drives.).

You know... I never thought I'd fill all of my drives, and if I had 3TB, i'd just say I couldn't fill it, and then I'd find some way to do it...

sigh.

Man I've had my drive for about a year, and it's still 75% free...

Thats after only 1 reinstall too. I'm the type that deletes programs I don't use anymore and defrag about every week:)

yeah, seriously, if you don't get rid of the crap you don't need, you probably will ened up filling a terabyte :eek:. Heh, @ one point I had like 100GB or DBZ and samurai jack[***] episodes, of course those had to go. Now I have only 40gb of data and find my self putting my 80gb wd drive into a P2 400 just so it won't sit there being wasted w/ no data on it :p .
