Nice video. Found this after the fact, but I just put together a very similar build about a month ago. I went with the 4U-15 bay rosewill case, as I had 8 old drives ready to use and wanted room to grow. I similarly, replaced all of the rosewill fans with noctuas, although one thing I learned/found out was that the 5-bay caddies have VERY little space to run the fan cables straight back. In fact, the noctua cables are thick enough that it effectively means that one drive slot can't be used because it would smash/pinch the cables. I haven't had time to play around with potential cable routing solutions to run them a different way, but for the time being it effectively makes the case a 12 bay...but at this point I'll admit that having the low noise and PWM fans well outweighs losing a drive slot per caddy.

I had/used the same MOBO, but also threw in two nVMEs for a cache pool, so therefore had to add in an HBA card to connect most of the drives since the MOBO effectively only had 4 SATA ports available.

Thanks for the subtitles bro, I don't speak English perfectly so it makes it easier for me to understand you by the way the computer looks great on you.

Hell yeah, I love that chassis, it's so versatile!

The video was good. The audio should be balanced to stereo and have the level adjusted a bit.
After 25 years of building PCs, I always try to keep an extra power supply around. I've had more than one failure.

Excellent video, production and really enjoyed the new concepts! Also, I enjoyed seeing the troubles presented when building and how you thought through things.

I just did the same thing recently, been having fun messing with Unraid

Shame the sound isn't optimal(Sound is low and primarily coming out of the left side, when you talk), the video itself was quite good and informative. Wish i could find that Rosewill chassis, but not sold in my part of the world.

Dope video, makes me want to repurpose my old pc laying around. Is your server connected through wifi or ethernet to your main pc?

[ArmanAvedyan]

Just came across your channel and love the content!! Keep it up!

Hi my man, Nice channel! Discovered it recently and the passion is nice to see. Wish you nothing but the best for the future. I Would be interested though in a more in depth video about the server. I have a spare pc, but finding information to create a NAS/homeserver is very quickly too advanced. A beginner/intermediate video about the posibilities and setup would be amazing. Of course it's probably also not easy to do.. regardless, keep up the good work, love the vibe of the channel

[Caeser]

its pronounced Chassi the s is silent. Good Video tho!

[punjabhero]

Cool video and glad that you figured out it was just the PSU that had to be upgraded. Good luck with your server! Having that thing on 24/7 have you thought about the extra power consumption due to the dedicated graphics card? Does the server need a dedicated graphics card?

[mosesdevadass]

I actually never heard of this before, or I might’ve but forgot. Might end up doing this one day, seems interesting. Although I always mess up something when building.

Great video
Please store on your new hdds some tutorials on how to edit audio

[xmancody]

This definitely sounds like great idea ! How much did this build cost total?
