[rambo1220]

I want to build a fish tank, build my stuff in there and throw some mineral oil in there but heres the problem
Im a lazy piece of stuff who doesnt bother maintaining that stuff and neither do I have money

I mean look at this stuff

ok then linustucktaps.

but dude that'd be sick, I thought of it once but it's a forgetton of effort to just get good cooling.

sample size too small to properly represent the reliability of hundreds of thousands of drives

Looking good but I would buy 2 drives and set up a raid
Or 4 if you want raid 10 but thats allot of money

[devildogelite]

Yeah I know I just don't want to drop all the money on drives right now.  It's more to replace the old PC I was using for HTPC and  stuff that I gave to my sister.  I'm planning on turning   it into a real NAS but I figured the drives can wait a little longer.  Right now everything is on a 5TB portable drive

Only difference:
 - 1x 1Tb SSD (For games)
 - 1x 4Gb RAM (This was donated to me, aint gonna say no)
 - 1x Monitor
 - Completely different house so it now has an additional table.

I will take a picture of the final setup I have when I get home but its something to start.

Built my computer a week ago and haven't run into any problems.
Able to take on any game I've tried so far at 75 fps with max graphics settings.

quickly sell the 970 and get a 1070
