Jay: I didn't put it on rails because we never have to open it.
Also Jay: We'll have to open this regularly to blow the dust out.
Yup, they should *really* get rails. Once filled, this will be heavy and unpleasant to move around. (Source: I have a smaller sibling of this case, on rails.)
@@LouisCYUL Not only rails , I hope they know they should be bolting the rack to the ground as well.
This oddly reminds me of an unrelated car review video from Redline Reviews, where Sofyan Bey (presenter) first mentioned that the side view mirror on the vehicle the was reviewing was nice and large. Later in the video he complained about how small the exact same mirror was.
Totally missed that contradiction!
@@oddeye That's not strictly required. For example - I have at my workplace 40 racks filled top to bottom with 1U machines, like very high density compute system would have. It uses very deep rack system (they are over 140 cm deep), and unless you pull out like 1/3 of top machines (which really doesn't make any sense) and hang off them it has absolutely no effing way to tip. Manufacturer strictly forbidden putting them on a raised floor because of weight, too. We also have many just free standing racks, that are randomly filled with machines, from 1U to 8U, and there are many instances when heaviest devices go to absolute top (like 400G traffic generator had to be in reach of 3m/10ft long copper cables to all devices using it, and it happened to be on top, and that beast weights ~100 kg) , or super heavy disk shelves are dangling in the middle and nothing bad happens - we do have someone on site to run calculations before and during installations, and if something approaches tipping danger, safety person slaps warnings on affected rack (like "please move machine to lower U before next audit" or "do not pull out machine in U25-28 if any other is already out" or "if pulling out disk shelf in U30-U35, pull half, remove drives, pull rest or move machine below U12"). Of course if someone ignores that, there are consequences, and yes, we had accidents because of that, but every single one of them would have been prevented if person responsible heeded the warnings.
In our case, we can't bolt down racks because they are constantly being swapped around.
Two-post network gear ones with switches and cross panels are both bolted to the floor AND to the ceiling, though. They have a nice railing around them even. No one fucks with network gear.
Edit: It makes a lot of sense to bolt down racks if they in isolated data center with hot/cold aisles with full air separation (like one you need blanks in each U in rack), raised floor, etc. - VPS providers, telecoms, database systems, 5G/network edge aggregation centers, made-to-order compute systems - they use that, but racks placed there generally don't move when installed. In our actual data center we have clamps on the floor, which are similar to studs on container trailers, just with a spring latch - we position a rack over the clamp, one person kicks the clamp spring, and it pops up from the floor, fixing the rack in place, and the other person kicks the latch, securing it on all sides simultaneously. But again, stuff there goes in, gets used until support contract runs out (2-5yrs) and gets replaced with identical, but newer one.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, still watching but didn't wanna forget to post this. Your drives in unraid have the last 8 digits of the serial number as part of their names in the "main" tab. Should then be a matter of writing down or taking a picture of that failing drives name, shutting the server down briefly, going through one by one to find that drive, swap it and then fire back up. You'll have degraded performance for the duration of the parity rebuild but that's about all.
Or, after having written down the serial number from the Unraid UI, you can just read the serial number off the physical disk, when transferring them from one case to another. But I guess that's a bit too late now. ;)
Or just label your drives as you put them in and make your life easy. Then no squinty sn hunting in the case. Array HDD 3 failed? Grab the one labeled Array HDD 3.
Leave it to the internet to give the answer to the TH-camr.
I label new drives with the last few digits of the serial above the sata connectors when I put them in. Makes it easy in this case to see what bay the problem is in before you have to pull out all the drives.
I dont care if it is unnecessary most of the time but hot swappable bays are a must
Jay: We're going to do something new and have a SECRET CODE in each of our videos!
Also Jay: Totally forgets to give the secret code..
He forgets one every 2nd video xD
I start to think it's intentional
He should have said - "there will codes in Some videos. Not all" :)
I'm surprised Phil doesn't remind him either 🤣😂🤣
that's what makes it a secret
I love how humble and loveable Jay is. It’s like if my dad knew anything about tech and gave me a new lesson every day. Cannot wait to see the new space! Well done J2C crew ❤️
Dude foreal jay gives me such dad vibes he seems like he can be a hard ass at times but you can tell for the people he loves and cares about he would go across the world just to make them happy i wanna be able to meet him and just talk to him for a little bit
no code today or did I miss it?
Omg so lovable and humble I know right? Making multiple videos telling his fans to buy GPU's now and they're idiots talking down to all of his fans if they don't listen and telling them they will regret it because he KNOWS the industry meanwhile a month later they're $500 cheaper and continuing to drop. Then he doesn't say a thing. I feel bad for the people that actually trusted this dude. Such a nice guy.
@@HeyHey-fy5jd EVGA's 3090ti FTW 3 dropped all the way to $1150 just the other day. Hundreds of dollars off from what Jay was telling people to buy. And Jay is very close with EVGA as we all know. Even said he heard all the bs in his videos from a "little birdie" in the industry. Not sketchy at all or anything. Not like Jay hasn't done something like this before or anything.
Humble and lovable? Lmfao you should see his twitter.
UNRAID should give you basic information for each drive in your pool. This data should include the controller number, port number and the serial number of each drive. This is how you ID a failing drive. If the drive is completely missing from the system look at controller ports that are not used and physically look for a drive connected to one of them, this will be your dead drive.
Edit: If you need help, call Linus and ask for Jake.
Yeah I wasn't using unRAID but FreeNAS at the time and finding the SN was pretty easy. Then powered everything off. Pulled each one out until I found the drive. Pulled the drive and replaced it, booted it up and away it went with the rebuild. Its not simple but its not too hard to figure out.
Exactly. unRAID labels all the drives with their serial number in the GUI.
There's also a plugin for unRAID called Disk Location (along with some other plugins) That allow you to make a map of your drives so you can identify them easier in the future if you have to pull them. It can also flash the drive activity light if you have hotswap bays with that feature.
Don't solve the issue of needing faster access to the server.
@@ceilyurie856 It is more important to resolve the parity issue first or he is going to end up having to restore his data pool from backup.
Code forgotten again XD but the renos are looking great cant wait for the final results
I'm so glad to see this type of content. ever since Eureka came out in 2006 i've wanted to network my house through a server. so i thirst for any server type content, i can learn from.
also, i kinda figured, and was right you forgot the secret code again. I think Nick or Phil should have a card that just says SECRET CODE, that they can hold up when they feel it would be a good time to segue into it. --Like a cue card.
PS: i've been watching for about 4 years now, and do not only watch for the code. :)
Pick your self up a HP Microserver. Well worth the price
@abdelhak mahdi lol, who isnt?
@abdelhak mahdi its kind of nice when someone points out that the vid is missing a code so other ppl dont need to rewatch the whole vid. i normally watch these vids on my 2nd monitor while im doing stuff and easily miss stuff when im focused on something else
looks like is the 4th time he has forgot the code no code in the last 3 videos I think, unless I didn't hear it and I did watch the previous videos
Code? I mainly watch Linus, is that a thing on this show?
I have a Rosewill case in my home lab. One little tip if you're going to have to open it up regularly to clean it, swap out the top panel screws with thumb screws. It's pretty convenient.
@Specter Salvation Mine clear the rack.
Yup! I did the same, made it a heck of a lot less of a hassle.
Linus' server videos are fun to watch, but absolutely appreciate a more realistic server build!
Linus has done many NAS builds/videos. His server videos are really more vlogs but they are good enough to turn it into just straight edited content.
Hot swap mounts are strangely fun to watch just pop pop pop, ok you have 120 TB of storage now, although his sponsored partner (it's been a while since I've watched his videos) seemed pretty darn expensive for the servers.
“Get sponsors to send you tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of hardware! Done! It’s just that easy!”
@@CantankerousDave This!
Agree!!!
Linus gets thousands of top tier top of the line newest hardware for him to test and showcase.
Plus an army of experts.
For us sane people who do not have ultra sponsors.. Jay'z more down to earth stuff is more useful.
Check out Level1Techs if you want more of the realistic server builds. They have an entire series on creating your own homelab, ranging from raspberry pi's to more powerful server equipment.
This is the type of content I can get behind. Now I just want to see another server build, but with a Raspberry Pi instead of X86 😄
Don't make him like Linus and make multiple servers haha
Nah go AMPERE ultra level 1 and STH had some cool stuff on them.
Do I hear a collab in the making?🤔
Pi....Lots of Pi.
Pi Cluster Kubernetes server.
I have the older version of that Case and replaced it all with rosewill's hotswap cages. Worth every penny. Has been serving me for quite a bit.
Now with a threadripper 3970X and Unraid.
Not a week ago, Jay said he would never leave a watercooled system unattended, now he has a NAS with an AIO.... LOL
oh common what's the worst that can happen the NAS shorts out from a water leak what are the odds of that happening?
Let's be honest, AIO is not what you'd refer to as "watercooling", that would be a custom loop.
If Corsair doesn't send a mountain of RGB fans and cooling solutions for that server, we riot. 😈👍
Personally I hate RGB fans/components, but my need for absurdity is 100% behind this idea.
Corsair charges an arm and a leg for one rgb fan. A mountain of arms and legs doesnt seem like something Corsair would give away for free.
Riot seems a bit excessive maybe strongly worded emails 🤣
@@grumpyratt2163 emails with all caps it is then
Did I miss the code?
I'd say server rails are an essential when it comes to mounting it in a rack. Easy to access, without breaking your back to haul it out to work on.
They’re so damn expensive though 😭
@@kraio-sfu $100?
@@potatoe4221 when you’re a homelabber like me, I would much rather spend that $100 on more storage or RAM

According to the Terms and Conditions, contest entry period ends Aug. 17th. He forgot again.
My money would be jay forgot, again. contest runs til the 17th.

RGB server immediately makes it way better than Linus's
Absolutely!
RGB is lame.
@@Banditt42 Didn't ask.
Linus did RGB his entire Serverrack 😋😋😋
ye but he has way more storage ;)
I work in data centers for a living. I’ve literally never thought of rails as something used for maintenance. It’s just the ease of putting a heavy and long server in a rack.
Never fails, save your back.
Use rails in your rack.
and bolt the rack to the floor
@@sopcannon Very important note haha.
Heavy drives at the front of your case + Rails = Unscheduled server relocation
Fellow Datacenter tech here and I use the rails at least once a week for maintenance. Swapping / upgrading RAM or NVIDIA GRID / AI cards.
@@sopcannon ofc not.. and fill it top the bottom too, nothing can go wrong :D
Idk how long youve been doing that, but I'm a systems engineer and often rack up 14 blade / 28 node chassis. And lots of Dell R740/750/7525 and I do not view the rails as ease for putting something in the rack. Hell, my predecessor didn't often use rails, just stacked them.... ha, no, maintenance did not happen. We're in 4 major DCs and over 300 edgesites world wide. And if you're working at a DC then you can appreciate the 3 phase we need in our racks to where the DC needs to put them whole cage in it's own mini room for increased cooling.
The Rosewill RSV-L4500 is by far my favorite budget server case. I've done an AIO cooled threadripper with full hot swaps. Also several Epyc servers in that case. You just can't beat it!
I have the Rosewill 12 bay hot swap server case. I really love it for my Unraid build. As for Unraid you can find which hard drive needs to be replaces by looking at the serial number. Granted you will have to take out each drive to check the serial.
Love this kind of content!
I have that very same case. Be careful with the screws that keep the top lid in place, they tend to easily strip and depending on where you have it, you might have situations where the screws cannot be put in place because the holes do not line up.
Not just that server, MANY servers like that tend to lose lid screws because they strip or rattle loose. A bit of Loc-Tite is almost a requirement.
I also have this case, and agree with that lol I honestly stopped putting the screws in, since it locks in place and no one else touches it there's no point in my setup lol
I swapped the screws in my case with thumb screws. With the rails they clear the rack.
@Almamu Talk to a computer screw thread expert and find nuts to match the thread. Remove the screws from the case, get some of the epoxy type jb weld that comes in a plastic syringe ( not the firm putty in a tube ). Sandpaper scuff the inside wall where the screws come through. Mount your hardware running the screws in just a piece of paper shy of flush with the inside. Take a thin toothpick or needle and spread the jb weld around the nuts, being careful to stay away from the inner thread area. Line up the nuts with the holes and hold firmly in place while running the screws in till tight, watch your finger with the screws! Once the jb weld hardens those nuts will stay in position regardless of vibration. Also if you want extra security you can put a single small drop of the 1 minute set time ' superglue ' on the screw before installing it. Not the instant glue which is too quick, and not the loctite because that is too strong holding and the tourqe to loosen the screws for servicing might cause the backing nuts to break free. Hope this helps.👍
@@deadaccount6135 - Good lord man! You're using a pile-driver to hang a hook on the wall.
These are screws that hold a dust cover on, not structural bolts that need to bear heavy loads.
Heck, a cotter pin would work too. Or going without. There's no harm in not even having the screws at all.
I use this current 4U case for my plex server, its been fantastic. Great build!
Ooo now that's an idea....(been thinking about building a new one)
Do you have your fans ramped up as much as Jayz'? Does it need that much cooling? I have a pretty simple home storage/media player system that runs on Windows. It's basically just a regular PC with regular fans, a 240 AIO, 10 drives, running 24-7 and it's whisper quiet. Wonder if I'm doing something wrong!
I have 4 of them! I went overboard.
Lovely idea! We took a very similar approach for a uni project a couple of years back: old x79 sabertooth board with a xeon, 4u chassis and silent fans. Still running to this day with 0 downtime other than power outages, silent and very cool.
Damn, Jay moves fast. I feel like it was yesterday I was watching a video about him considering a full renovation, and now he's almost done!
No code again?? :(
Are we just not doing the “Daily Codes” anymore?
I watch twice haha! I keep getting Distracted, thinking I missed it…
I watched twice too. There isn't
The Unraid software should tell you which port the drive with the issues is on. I can't wait to see the video of you guys building the rack and installing all of the components!!!!!
I love how nick just struts through the office preview like to heck with your video Jay. I'm thirsty haha 🤣🤣
Jay: Should we put RGB fans in it?
Chancellor Palpatine: Do it.
RGB Server. YES.
Also..... YOU FORGOT THE CODE AGIAN JAY!
Love this content Jay.
We know you can go balls crazy with a server like Linus (and yes they are fun to)
But these realistic server videos are just as entertaining.
Also did we miss the code. Or did I miss the code?
Looks like he forgot about the code again.
@@doublea1148 ik the meantime we still get 3 codes from Jay. As of the standings right now
I mean, Linus's servers are "realistic" for his company's needs. He stores an enormous amount of data, and he has an ever-expanding team of editors working directly from the servers all day every day. I do like Jay's approach to building his server. On the downside, using desktop PC components means less reliability. On the upside, "server-grade" parts are expensive and harder to get, and using desktop parts means that if anything fails he probably already has the parts right there in the building to quickly get it running again.
@@megachonk9440 Desktop components you have some around anyway so you can easily swap something. You might need a spare HBA though.
@@megachonk9440 Yeah like LMG has like 6 channels to run, so the server isn't over the top for his needs.
Man that silver interior brings back memories of my builds back in the 90's and early 2000s! lol. Looking spiffy!
Once things settle down, and you start to fill your server rack - maybe consider making it into a set-piece and work some of that movie magic on it, and make it look like some slick or dirty sci-fi device. Only needs to be surface level of course, to maintain easy access. But blinky lights, monitors, piping, that sort of thing!
Thatll be hard when it ends up in a network closet with AC and sound isolation so it doesnt drive them insane during shoots lol.
@@puffthedargon then make the network closet look awesome, with sound insulation and temperature control inside lol
yes!!!!! YEEEEEeeeeeesssss. Do one of them! Reminds me of 'we have work to do" Phil pokes his head around "yeah" still laugh a little n "jjjjjjjjjjjjaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy"
I have the same case for my unraid server in my rack. Filter is annoying to clean but doable. The case kept making a lot of sound due to the turbulence you mentioned but there's an easy fix for that. For the middle row of fans, if you reverse the middle mounting row/plate/bar thing and then flip each fan so the airflow is in the correct direction, it drastically reduces the fan noise without affecting cooling or airflow. I find the front intake fans don't cause nearly as much sound due to turbulence as the middle row does in its default configuration.
Reminds me, I need to change the cooler in my server at some point. Been running a Hyper 212 Evo cpu cooler on it for 2 years now since I had it on hand, and it kind of makes the case lid bulge by maybe a mm or two... It's fiiiiine!
I have a Noctua ND-D9L in mine - 92mm cooler instead of 120mm. Haven't had any issues because my NAS isn't under any significant load.
only thing i dislike about this case is how expensive its gotten. its finally in stock for the first time in like a year or so on amazon. but the last time i bought one it was like $120.
Love seeing NAS/Server videos. Saving up to upgrade mine. And great progress on the building work!
Fun fact: the construction noises are just Nic in the back playing with power tools and 2x4s to mess with Jay.
Loving the development process Jay, glad things are moving along nicely. Hope you guys can use it to the fullest potential, along with the new server; data and work flow should be nice and speedy. 😁
Not Linus... Wendell. He's the guy who actually knows how to build servers.
not as many people know Wendell, Linus is a way better clickbait title because most people who watch tech videos know Linus as he is like the biggest tech channel
@@reallugia97 Maybe, but Linus is mostly a talking head when it comes to hard stuff. Wendell is the guy who teaches Linus how to build servers.
And fooey on clickbait. People shouldn't even watch vids with obviously wrong titles.
@@billb5732 I don't think you know how youtube works, but ok, have fun with your titles that nobody's gonna click
Honestly i love the raw videos, i like the more put together pieces, dont get me wrong, but the "random exploding stuff" callouts are funny and make the videos more personable... keep doin what youre doin!
Just a suggestion, painter before carpet is the way to go.
That way drips, which can happen, don't matter.
Nice build by the way, server or NAS don't matter what it's called. Just so long as it does the job.
Starting my first homelab with some enterprise hardware. Super stoked to toy around and see what fun I can get up to with it.
I have an old repurposed server motherboard it's a daul E5 2680v3 system. My only problem, it has an idle draw of 120watts as opposed to my actual unraid server it has an idle draw of 25watts. That system cpu is a 10400.
I use a pi4 and couple of 8TB external drives. One backups to other overnight. It's a bit slow but it does saturate a 1GB connection, which is faster than my WiFi. I will probably upgrade to QNAP with couple of 2.5gbe links. One direct to a dedicated 2.5gbe card in the pc. No switch needed. The other to the router for WiFi.
@@jondonnelly4831 I brought a couple of 10gb cards, I'm going to bulid a TureNas server with the the spare daul E5 2680V3. When the time is right I'll hopefully replace the motherboard with a W680 chipset bored. Still use TureNas. That'll keep power consumption under control.
7:40 I love how work still is getting done as you try and make a video, little things like that put a smile on my face.
I’m looking forward to the office setup seeing you nick and Phil’s desk looks!
I love the small changes. You are following the KISS method which will greatly bring your channel up a level. You need to build your team/Channel to make you happy. More employees like LTT which requires 99 channels, 3 buildings, a 800k server for NAS and more isn't fun for everyone. This channel is the best and LTT only has 3% of their videos that matter anyway.
I've had that precise 4U case for more than a decade, I've got it filled with 2Tb and 3TB drives, because I built it a long time ago. I run MS Server 2016 on it. I've replaced all the fans in it with quieter fans. My case doesn't have USB3, of course, because it predates that standard, but otherwise it is identical. I like that case a lot, and will probably still be using it 10 years from now.
same, I have 4 of them!
⚠️ For the conduit drops going into the wall I would put a coupling up at the top so that when you pull wire it doesn’t shave the sheathing down or possibly cut into the wire. At least that’s what we do here in Canada 🇨🇦
different vibe today as if a mellow jay ....were all excited....the studio the show its already a part of us a routine coffee and jay in the morning ....thanks again
Was there a code in this vid? If so I missed it.
Love your content bro. Keep it up
I am going to assume that since no one is saying "you forgot the code" that I somehow missed it...damn, I thought I was paying attention.
I'm just glad to see Nick is staying well hydrated during these hot SoCal days. 😅
Did Jay forgot the secret code again?😂
yup as always lol
JAY OMG I love these type of builds, please PLEASE do more server stuff!!!1111omg!!!!
I love seeing the IT Duster in your videos. It's how I found you several years ago because I was looking for an alternative to canned air or a big air compressor
I have a case from that family. I cut out the honeycomb on the front and rear fans to put black standard wire grills in place. Much quieter because it gets more space away from the fan blades.
The drives have unique serial numbers that unraid reports. It's not a complete nightmare to find problem drives. Unraid is very idiot friendly in my experience. Try reformatting the problem drive and doing a full retest sometimes it's a software bug and comes good.
shoulda called Linus for help great fun colab for a server coulda messed with him the whole time lol
I've had that same chassis for several years. It's a good, solid foundation. I was using it for a content creation-turned-gaming rig, and heat/cooling became an issue. It'll make an excellent file server though. It's well built and has enough room inside to fit just about anything that you can imagine. Except a proper cooler. Turns out 4 rack spaces just isn't enough height to accommodate a good 120mm air cooler. I tried that same mid-mounted 360mm radiator and it just didn't work all that well. It's cooling with warm air from mid-chassis.
Ha ha ha, first ad was at 7.32 for headspace, it fit so well with Jays expression.
first
I dont care about servers , but i am watching from start to finish , and i like it! Guess why? because of Jay and phil and nick. they could turn this into a gardening channel and still will watch it. Love to see the upgrade to the studio !
Jays facial expressions to the construction noises is priceless. 7:29
Did I miss the code?
Awesome to see the progress of the new work space! Looks good
Awesome to see this video go up. I just happened to decide to do a similar project this weekend ordered this same chassis on Sunday. Glad to see a run down on it being a quality product before it arrives this weekend
It'll actually be housing a custom loop because I'm transplanting an old TR system where I have already replaced the VRM heat syncs with a monoblock.
I was inspired to make that system water cooled by your channel, so I suppose a double thank you is in order here
@JayzTwoCents Jay one easy fix for the open side vents drawing in dust via the middle fans, before cases came with filters I would take some thin fine mesh foam like what comes in motherboard boxes and find a way to mount it tight to the inside of the case, over the vent. If room is available you can put it on the outside for easier cleaning. Just make sure you make the edges tight so no dust gets by while still keeping it removable for cleaning. In the old days I'd repurpose the thin ' pre filter mount found on a lot of the old cases, and the motherboard foam is much finer yet still the same thickness. 👍👍👍
The ambiance was class, thanks Jay
Great build! Great seeing it come together
I was gonna mention that those drive cages slide out the front and you shouldn't have to take those mid rack fans out, but looks like you figured that out. I used that case a few years ago for a project. Worked well, but you can definitely see why the case is pretty cheap. :)
Space is looking awesome, can't wait to see it completed - congrats on the growth man, also the smaller footprint just means you're working within your means and needs.
I think I need to plan on getting a 4U as well so I can move my media server storage out of my main rig, and would leave me room for expansion since I'm running out of space due to 4K content.
Definitely get that hotswap version, they should plug to the bottom thus leaving the front more open for better fan longevity and performance. Love the internal AIO idea that is so cool!
I share your enthusiasm👍 Every NAS is technically a server since even the most basic 2 drive box will have a processor in it (600Mhz flavor and maybe 256MB of soldered on RAM). I ran a 2 drive Buffalo NAS for years. Heck, even for a multi drive system you could get away with consumer grade and rock Stable Bit Drive Pool. The only worry with consumer grade is cooling so be sure you keep that rack from getting hot. Tripp Lite sells a rack mount air conditioning unit (SRCOOL7KRM) for server equipment that's perfect for single rack installs like yours where floor venting isn't an option and/or room air is shared. Worth checking it out 😉
After the background builder noises, you should do another video from a football stadium during a match, or a nightclub when the DJ drops the 1am banger.
So nice to see jay playing with servers hope we'll see more that would be cool!
I recently bought a Rosewill case like the one you showed. I was very disappointed in the rail placement. The holes in the case for the rails is centered in the side of this 4U case, they are not aligned at a U boundary. This made it impossible to mount the case in the rack to align with the other equipment in the rack. I think that you will also find that by using shelf brackets, the the bracket itself takes up space and will not allow you to put devices both above and below this case. If you are not going to fill the rack, then losing a U or two is no big deal, but inevitably, the rack ends up being full over time.
I have that same case, you unscrew the individual cages from the top and they slide out the front.
Love how the action at the beginning wasn’t edited out
Who else was expecting Linus to pop up out of nowhere lol.
15:08 Jay in Flight Attendant mode.😅😂
Jayz what a big NAS you have and I believe the fans in back are 80mm fans. On New Egg only the 12 bay is Hot Swap.
Will be awesome this new studio! Fits the people of JayzTwoCents so well! 🥰 Nick is the best in this video with the coffee or whatever 😂😂😂
Really nice to see a techtuber who understands that obstructed airflow = more turbulence = more noise. Feels like not enough people understand that and the noise benefits of having a duct/shroud between fans and a heatsink/rad.
Good to see that Nick is staying hydrated. Looking good fellas!
Stoked to see the shop come together.
I have the hot swap model running my Unraid build. I replaced the two 80mm fans with Noctua fans in the back and got three red LED corsair 120mm fans for behind the drives and it looks amazing because you can see red light coming from it.
Echoing some of the sentiment here: I LOVE how Jay breaks down the anatomy of a server and defines NAS. Fun as it is watching Linus build with ALL THE MONEY, I'd love to see more of these videos with more down-to-earth information about servers and how they work.
Great video as usual, Jay!
Nice server Jay! Just please get some rails they are an essential for maintenance / easy access and they will save your back! Running my homelab on a second hand IBM X3550 M4 with Unraid. Doesn't even come close to your setup but it does all I need it to do and it's reliable.
@Jayztwocents the drive cages slide to the front from the top clips on the drive cage. Derp. Read the manual. You can also get other hot swappable cages for ir on Amazon. Look for 3x 5.25 Hotswap Bay. Then use the included rails to install the Hotswap bays into the chassis.
What hes saying is true!
I enjoy these videos. Thank you for sharing
Growing is exciting and a lot hectic. J2C and Team deserve it. Godspeed!
Great to see this, thoroughly enjoyed. Linus Tech is kind of like Top gear. Reviewing lambos and Ferraris that 99% of people could never afford, but still interesting to see. This is the every man's server that I could actually build and use myself. Keep up the great work.
JAY!! you don't need to take out the fan support! the three Hard drive bays slide out the front of the chassis if you remove the two screws on the top!
So, I've used that case a couple of times. I saw some other people also mention using it, but didn't see anyone say, you don't have to remove the center fan mounts to access the drives. The drive cages will come out the front of the rack. Those little bumps on the top are retention type things that you can depress to slide the cage out and it locks in place when sliding back in (I can't remember for sure if there are screws on the front holding it in as well, but the entire cage with the fan comes out as one unit in the front to give drive access).
Love these chassis, got 3 of them at home and swapped all the fans for Noctua fans, also with AIO's :) Have fun building that server rack. Can't wait to see the new look when your whole studio will be finished.
Jay as an electrician in canada i gotta point out that in that junction box at 15:44 the people used EMT connectors for the BX cable and they didn't put on the bushings for the emt going down to the wall to the device boxes. Im pretty sure California uses equivalent Canadian code as its standard so unless thats a new type connector it's incorrect.
Haveing a full walkthrough video on how to set up your own server would be a great idea. All these extra outdated components could be used to make homemade servers for individuals to host there own Teamspeak, Discord, or like you mentioned Minecraft servers. Would love to see your insight and how you feel would be the best way to do that including how to set up the OS. Thanks J
Although he is busy building and preparing the site, he finds content that helps him on both levels. This is creative and breliant
Nice to see a NAS that us normal users would be considering to have. Would love to see a perspective on how you guys setup your NAS and the gear you used. Keep us the positivity. Also loved how Nick just walked through twice thought he was just trolling
JayzTwoCents I have an enclosed 32U server in my small office with a UNRaid Server and my Workstation both suck in a fair bit of dust due to the bottom of the Server Cabinet having an opening, so I wouldn't go without the dust filter on the front. Also recommend you get the rails, even though you may not need to access the system often, it is a pain when you do need to especially with all those drives it will be heavy.
Its funny, I built in that cases sister 12 drive hotswap 4 u chassis just last week. I moved my NAS over to it. Works well enough. Nice to finally rack mount my nas.
