How does one acquire free Synology's? LOL! Looks good!

They were going to be recycled, so asked if I could repurpose them. IT manager said as long as I showed proof they were wiped then I could have them.

I built this rig a few years ago, using a Thermaltake 900 Supertower... It contained a Z390/i9-9900k setup, and I built a custom 420mm cooling rack using 1 of the leftover side fan mount brackets and a Corsiar H115i Rad, and mounted it over top of the middle HDD enclosure...

I also modded the left side mesh panel to add/house a USB hub with 2x USB-C + 2x USB-A ports so I would not have to get up every time I needed to plug/unplug something, since the rig sat on top of my desk

Oh, and BTW, I called it "Big Red One" in honor of the US Army's 1st Armored Division (which I served in), cause this thing is built like a tank !

You realize you should never have the cpu block higher than the resi or rad right?

Having the res below the pump/block in an AIO is a good way to end up with air in the CPU block / pump and result in cavitation and flow failure.

Your rack looks far superior to mine. Mind you mine is currently not in use other than for clutter...

You should review the V3 Thermalright AIO's, they are pretty decent. Not sure how they stack up against the other guys, that's where you come in




Edit:


They can take a bit of a beating

Had this setup for a few years now. Need rebuilt it from scratch around when the NVIDIA 5000 series hopefully launches this fall. Also bonus rack pics.

With the amount of data I have hoarded I really need to start a Home sever Rack.

A rack makes life so much easier if you have the space. I know the data hoarding life. I've got 18 drives varying from 8tb to 16tb in raid 10 on TrueNAS. I got lucky with the rack and got it for free while I was in Vancouver. The server has been there since about 2014 with a recent upgrade to an Epyc with 256gb ram. It really creeps up on you over the years. The only answer is always more. LOL

@Black_Ice-Dragon Exactly my Nas Journey started with a Ryzen 5600x rig with 2 8Tb DRives then this Synology with 8x18tb drives now i need 10x22tb drives as my mistake with Synolgy was JBOD >< so i have to transfer over 58TBs of data wipe the Synolgy create a Raid 5-10 trasnfer it all back setup R-sync then i can be done with the Trunas Build and have multpe backups. but i feel this is just the beginning and thought i should just get a rack so i can populate that as the need keeps growing
