I guess the only really important parts are the pics and the music. I can fit all of that on a spare HDD. The porn would suck to lose because I don't have time to create a new collection, but that could fit on the other backup disk. It wouldn't be too painful to lose all the TV shows and movies I've copied but it's not like it would be the end of the world or anything.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone shot, just picked up another server chassis. I'm going to transplant everything in the supermicro to it, as the Supermicro is just running off of a consumer 800 watt PSU, and I'm starting to get worried about it's power-delivery abilities. The Chenbro RM41416 has triple redundant power supplies (so 1300 watts plus a backup if one fails). Just have to pick up another two drive caddy's. I will say, the super micro drive caddy's are about 10x more sturdy (extruded aluminum vs 22 gauge sheet metal), but that's partially due to them only putting 10 in a 5U rather than 16 in a 4U.

I love having friends in IT who know about my hobby!

Awesome! I wish I had a rackmount!

TK, how's your power bill while running a rack like that? I worry about my bill skyrocketing when I am running a rack of your size 24/7.
