    Why thank you, it feels nice and was relatively cheap. Was a little worried the design looked like vomit or something, but then maybe that means it'll fair better as various things are spilled on it.

    I don't think you can see a lot of my place from those pictures, it is fairly small although it doesn't really bother me, I don't need a whole lot of space.

    You probably pay as much for that closet of yours as my grandparents did for their four bedroom house

    Spending that much money on a closet apartment so you can live in the biggest cesspool in the country and slave away for the kikes seeking to destroy you, your people and way of life.
    Just kill yourself already.

    One of the whore harddrives is acting up, annoying. I think (and hope) it might be a cable rather than one of the drives. I have a tradition of forgetting to order SATA cables so I had to scavenge one from a prior build and I think that might have been what did it. If not I can always return the faulty drive but it's a pain in the dick to troubleshoot it.

    Jesus H, a month later I finally have a stable system.

    Turns out it was the SATA controller on the mobo that was causing intermittent read failures, but of course there's no good way to know that without testing the PSU, the mobo, and each of the drives separately. So I end up doing a return/replace on that and that's like a couple of hours of disassembly and re-doing the thermal paste on the other side, and a couple weeks of procrastinating and waiting on the mail.

    New mobo arrives and I go through the assembly song and dance again. Get my shit installed, RAID set up all nice. Then I plug it into my TV thinking it might be nice to use for media playback too and I learn I can't get smooth playback out of it at 4K. Not surprising, I wasn't expecting a budget APU to be able to do it but I remembered I had a Radeon HD 6<something or other> in my closet from a gaming build a number of years ago. Mobo has a slot for it and the PSU can support the extra draw so I figure I'll give it a try. Problem is the card was not designed for a tiny ITX case and is longer than the mobo, extends into the drive bays. Actually if the bays are empty it'll fit, but when they're in the lock-in clip things extend too far. I find everything works if I pull the drives out and have them hanging out the side but that's not exactly a good time. The drive bays are actually reversible so I can turn them around to get everything to fit, but my screwdriver is too long to fit in the box (that's what she said) to unscrew stuff, so I have to disassemble like 60% of the chassis to make it work and reroute all the cables which took for fucking ever and made my knees sore since I was doing it on the floor (also what she said).

    But at long last it lives and I have my seedbox and music collection backed up on redundant storage and a synchronized mirror of all my github repos. Next up is NiS database backups and email backups, and VLC playback controls over SSH or something similar.
