do you have some dimensions you might want to share with the group, so we can see just how big this monster is going to be.
~Magick_Man~
The approximate dimensions were in the first post, about 2'x 2'x 4' tall. I wanted to do as little cutting as possible. A 'store bought' rack would only allow me 1 system per layer, whereas I could get as many as 8! Bwahaahaa! Oooo wait I got carried away

All the hottest parts are being watercooled like the CPU & chipsets. Since I don't plan to OC anything, it should be ok. average temp inside the box should run close to about 45c to 48c A little warm, but not really anything to worry about. My Main rig is H2O cooled and is in a sealed space with only 1 80mm case fan. (even the PSU is sealed in) Temps for the CPU have been about 32-38 under load and system temp runs at 48c constantly. The air is warm but the system runs 24/7 like this for over a year! no problems

Rich is only a state of being, I guess I am not then. There is a lot o lunch money in my computers, and this project is going to be expensive. I just shop the bargains, getting the most I can, for the least ca$h possible.
