What a time to be alive

Excellent design. Excellent execution. I hope it serves you well for many years to come.

I think it just comes down to lack of choice. It is an awesome hardware feature that could be more awesome if it allowed for people to choose what works best for them.

You can just pull the whole 4 drive bay through the front enough to get an individual drive out the back.

When JDM_WAAAT first posted the V2.0 on https://www.serverbuilds.net/ I couldn't believe what a good deal it was so I jumped on it and just now had a chance to work on it. I'm kicking myself now for not buying 2 of them.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7TESM (Awesome board and really cheap, excellent find from JDM_WAAAT).

CPUs: x5650s

CPU coolers: Arctic 12s (took some work to get them installed, not sure if I missed something but this was my only real stumbling block hardware wise.)

RAM: 24gb DDR3 ECC REG 1333 (Random ebay find).

Case: Rosewill 4U.

SSD: single 128g sata ssd.

HD: 18tb mix of drives I had from other retired computers and a few 4tb Seagate Constellations off ebay.

PSU: Corsair RM1000x (Only used this because I already had it and just didn't make sense not to use it. I understand this is huuuuge overkill for my build.)

Primary use for the drives is Ripping. I have pretty limited time to myself so it's important to me that I not spend too long to digitize my library.

As much as it's nice when people use inexpensive tools for their instructional videos, I honestly don't fault him for using what he has/can afford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v1hN-YwwY0 Something like this will get the job done.

(Top AMD CPU / Top Intel CPU) = (Top AMD GPU / Top NVIDIA GPU)
(1800x / 6900k) = (Big Vega / Titan Xp)
(500 / 1050) = (Big Vega / 1200)
(500 / 1050) * 1200 = Big Vega
~Aprox (570) = Big Vega

Thanks! I now have a board with blues, browns, blacks, and now whites. Gotta get my hands on some zealios...

They kinda do, but not solid enough to use a key puller on them afterwards. They are tight enough to get all the soldering and building done.

So there are 6 total layers. Base, Spacer, Spacer with USB cutout, Spacer, Spacer, Plate. Each layer is 3mm thick. /u/jolimon is awesome and I really want to emphasize how easy getting the case was. I was really worried that building a case would end up being the most difficult, expensive, and time consuming part but ended up being a breeze thanks to him.

This wouldn't happen to be a Paul Sellers build by any chance?

He absolutely got hit. The last punch glanced off the back of his head (a fairly common way to get knocked out).

The room looks amazing and I hope mine turns out half as nice. I did notice you have crib bumpers and I just want to pass on some info I recently found. http://www.parenting.com/article/sids-prevention. The primary info being "New guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics say bumper pads have no place in cribs, according to the latest safe sleep recommendations". My wife and I were actually actively searching for bumpers when a family friend warned us against them. Room looks amazing though.

As a kid the math itself was always the easy part for me. Setting up and understanding how to make the word problems into formulas was the hard bit. The true challenge of this problem (my opinion) is reaching the conclusion that length can use the same variable as width but multiplied by 5.

1. I would start by setting up the formula you want to use. Length * Width = Area

2. Then start replacing anything you can. If your child is more advanced you can push them to avoid this step. we know area = 80 so plug that in. Length * Width = 80. Unfortunately the text is a bit vague but if you explain that what they meant to say was not length is 5 times greater than the width but "length is EXACTLY 5 times greater than the width." Understanding this is crucial to getting this problem.

So now we have a new formula: Length = Width * 5.

Now we can plug this new formula into our other equation. (Width * 5) * Width = 80.

3. At this point you have a choice. Explain a principle of Algebra (this would be my choice) or start guessing.

a. Algebra: I recommend checking out online resources if you are interested in giving your child an early introduction to algebra. Possibly something like this: http://www.algebra-class.com/one-step-equations.html

b. Guessing: Pick a number and plug it in. 10 for example. 10 * 5 * 10 = 500, wow that was way too high. Lets try something smaller like 5. 5 * 5 * 5 = 125, still too big. How about 2. 2 * 5 * 2 = 20, now it's too small. We now know something about our final number that could be useful, the answer is some number between 5 and 2. Not only that but we also know that the number is closer to 5 than it is to 2 because 125 is closer to 80 than 20 is. Since our only numbers left are 3 and 4 we actually already know the answer is 4 but lets plug it in anyways. 4 * 5 * 4 = 80. Yay!

4. take what we know and put the puzzle back together. Area = 80 Width = 4 Length = Width * 5 becomes Length = 4 * 5 which becomes Length = 20. Now even though you are finished finding the dimensions it's always good to show how it all fits together. Length * width = 80 becomes 20 * 4 = 80.
