Due to relocating the GPU to the center of the case, short extension cables were used for HDMI + Display Ports. In the final version I also added a top fill port and dust protection on most open case slots.
Watercooled Custom Loop in Danger Den Double Wide
During a search of the classifieds I found a rare Danger Den Double Wide case with older components installed. After purchasing the case and cleaning everything, I rebuilt the setup with new components and a custom loop using green watercooling fluid. Most of the loop components are EK, the pumps/fans are controlled with an Aquacomputer Aquaero 5 PRO, and a basic fan controller takes care of the rest of the fans. The GPU was relocated off the motherboard with a custom designed 3D printed bracket and PCI-E extension cable.
NAS Server with Hardware RAID Controller
This headless Linux server was built using some older PC components and five 4TB hard drives configured with a Hardware RAID Controller. The setup includes RAID 5 with 16TB of total usable storage, Samba for local network file access, and Seafile for cloud services.
Behind the scenes is the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with volume groups (VGs), and logical volumes (LVs) alongside network backup capabilities.
