      PICS! (shitty cell phone ones)

      Front, with opening and closing sturdy aluminum door, and stealth optical drive cover:



      Rear, spots for two power supplies, a 120mm fan, and all other standard mobo connections:



      Wide view of inside (along with rat's nest of wires):



      Drive bays (12 in total):



      Best motherboard shot I could get without dismantling it some more. Two processors of unknown speed (until I pop a drive back in and see if I can boot it back up and check):



      Drives (unsure how many, if any, actually are still good or worth a shit):

      I have 6 (six) of these:



      1 (one) of these:



      1 (one) of these:



      And 1 (one) of these monsters:



      Memory:

      2 (two) of these measly sticks of RAM:



      I will post up when I figure out what the Processors are. There is a raid controller card plugged in to the motherboard, as well. I'm excited to throw some money at this thing. I need suggestions and help with figuring out what kind of parts to buy. Still need to figure out which of the drives (if any) work. Want a new mobo, new processors, video card(s), and lots of RAM. I want to build this to last for a long time.

        The only thing I can suggest, is give that 2t drive to me.

          So you can't get into the bios for hardware specs?

            I might be able to, I haven't tried it yet. When it was booting before it would post too quick for me to notice and then boot right into linux. I didn't have time to mess with it too much last night, just enough to take it apart and see what was in it. Have more time tonight.

                great amount of room for liquid cooled gaming BEAST! Or, you could put it back to work as a plain old file server....

                  Don't worry about what you can't change.
                  Do the best you can with what you have.
                  Be honest, even if it hurts.

                    It's my phone. POS Razr MAXX's camera is not very good in low light.

                    I'm going to slowly be putting together a decent gaming machine, until I have more money to build it out the way I want it (beats mode).

                        I just tried to test it, it doesn't seem to be in working order. It might be this shitty sata to usb adapter, so I'll try it again when I get to work.
