I took this snapshot showing the innards of my newish computer case, through the glass side panel. I recently upgraded the heat sink to a monster cooler unit (a Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B), to which I added a second fan with green LEDs for "push-pull" cooling.

After playing with the photo a bit in Snapseed, I got this sort of abstract looking image that I thought looked pretty cool. Why yes, I am a geek. :)

164 Fujitsu 2TB hard drives that came in this morning with my new DDN S2A6620 arrays (at work). I unboxed them and left them on the floor like this for a little while to acclimate to the room. It attracted a lot of attention from passers-by. I'm glad they were safely behind the glass wall.

I put the NAS on the shelf in my closet. After formatting, 2TB is available on the NAS for storage. Hopefully this will hold me over for at least a year.

Now I just have to figure out an off-site backup plan and I'm all set.

Motherboard, CPU, RAM, DVD, vid card, power supply, card reader and one of the HDs are screwed into the case. Yet to install, the other 8 HDs I plan to put in. Plus nothing has been plugged in.

Gutted my ancient computer (it was still running an Athlon Tbird 1.4!) to get it ready for a thorough upgrade.

Just some useless RAM module lying around on my desk.

My first computer was a SE/30 in 1990 or 91. I don't remember if I ever expanded its memory, but it came with a whopping 1 MB of RAM that was probably installed as eight 256 KB modules.

Can't wait to blow my daughter's mind 15 years from now:

"Back in the day, your dad got by on 1 megabyte of memory in his $6000 computer with the 9 inch monochrome screen and a whopping 16 MHz of processing power."

Meanwhile, she's walking around with a 5 THz processor in her communicator thingamajig that has a 500 Gbps download pipe to an umlimited storage cloud and the whole thing costs 99 bucks.

I've been wanting to set up a NAS at home for years. It's only in the past year or so that it has become (somewhat) affordable.

When you buy a NAS, you can't just stop there. You need a UPS to prevent data corruption during power outages, otherwise, what's the point of having redundancy? And then you need a gigabit switch so it won't be dog slow accessing the files over the network.
