PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 do they glow in uv light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 do they glow in uv light?They're not technically uv reactive, but they're white, so should be a nice blueish glow about them. Will post pics in a bit when I install them. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Nice But i think you need some white covers for the corsair tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Nice But i think you need some white covers for the corsair tubes Yeah I think next I'm gonna take the tubes off and replace them with some white or UV ones, they're like 3-4" too long anyways. Next build im going to do a custom loop, I just don't have enough room in this case for any pumps or reservoirs. Also want to swap the MSI LED on the GPU to a UV one and paint the green parts of the shroud white. Edited September 29, 2016 by shaefurr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Some of these builds are insane and must have cost a fortune, how many movies do you lot store? What bitrate/size do you rip films at?? Mine is quite modest at the moment compared to some on here with high movie counts but am building up quickly 90 Films + 500 "Extras" 1581 TV Episodes 3240 other videos of all sorts of things Blu-Ray or DVD backups of all discs should i need to re rip etc and i have the space Have a large box of unripped TV and Films i am working through so guess another 20% on top I rip with MakeMKV and do not compress or remux just let it rip the files as it wants so some movies are over 30gb Also have well over 500k of photos as well so about 18TB at the moment Maybe you should start a thread "How big is yours!" or "size does matter - honestly!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I may take a run at this Fractal Design case That is what I use for my Emby Server. The build isn't as fancy as some here but it works for me. Has 9 drives so far and room for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I rip blurays to mkv's at about 9kbps but keep the original audio. Most movies end up between 7-15GB, while retaining DTS or whatever audio it had. I lost a drive last year and lost about 600 movies and some shows, which I haven't re-ripped yet, so this count is actually lower than it was a year ago even though ive added a lot of new content. 2,011 Movies 197 TV Series 5,666 Episodes 890 Albums 16,519 Songs 1,371 Music Videos 27,734 Photos 308 PC Games 4,472 Emulated games (nes, snes etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot my music/podcasts/audio books - that adds about 8500 mp3's oh and 2 Games - lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Well the emulated games are easy since most older consoles have around 700 games or so each. Arcade alone has like 7000 but I dont have any of those:P 99% of the PC games are through Steam (yay steam sales!) And my wife downloads all the music videos from youtube, shes been doing it for a year or so. Should I include hours of games played? Steam only tracks 1084, before I used Steam a lot I had Raptr which tracked about 5000, and before that there was Everquest, which I think when I quit I had like 420 days played according to the /played command, so another 10000 something hours Emulators aren't tracked at all by Steam so I dunno what those hours are. Think I got my moneys worth lol. Usually I figure If I play for 1 hour per dollar spent its worth it, so 60 hours for a $60 game.

Guest asrequested Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I think I just found the case for my new HTPC. I'll find a suitable server case, later. What do you guys think of this? [Youtube] [/Youtube] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I like it, I was going to get the Node 804 for my kids HTPC a while back but didnt have the room width wise so had to go with a mid tower. Fractal makes some nice cases, the sound dampening material actually works really well (unless you take the entire side off for an acrylic window like I did lol). The R3 is one of the better cases ive owned and the quality really shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to improve the aesthetic of my setup, while getting the functionality that I want. I think that case will be a great stacked with my AVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
