My ol' P180 with the guts ripped out!

A couple of Rosewill SATA II controller cards and a bunch of SATA cables

Some HDDs I had in the 5.25" bays

My Seasonic S12II 430 and the crappy Foxconn/AMD APU that has been doing duty as my file server

Guess I'll hit 21K this weekend unless this project takes longer than anticipated. My goal today is to put all the guts from the P180 into the new case. Hopefully, the power disable feature is workable with the new power supply.

I feel like an era has ended. I have two Antec P180 cases that are destined for the trash unless I can find a taker within the next 24 hours. I have no problem in getting rid of stuff. I really don't need them any longer. I still have my very first case I bought, Cooler Master ATC-200, and an Antec P183 that are doing nothing in case I need to throw something together. I've been hanging on to a lot of stuff for way too long. I can't have my living space swallowed by my tech hoarding!

Here's my bank of storage. There's 1.5TB x 2, 2TB x 2 and 4TB x 4. There's also a Samsung 840 128GB for the OS drive. With my future server, I plan on migrating to 10TB enterprise drives and the 960 Pro.

It will be cool to eventually have a crapload of "small" storage drives. All 1.5TB & 2TB in size. Funny how that used to be YUGE.
