Despite the close quarters, all the drives as well as the cpu maintain an acceptable temperature thanks to the solitary 120mm fan. The 8 2tb drives have been configure as a single volume raid 5, with 12.7tb of useable space. The entire system consumes less than 90 watts under load, and while the CPU jumps to around 80% when writing files to the raid array, performance wise the raid 5 will get the job done at about 88MB/s write and 266MB/s read.

that's a pretty sweet build out.
strange, it reminds me a lot of some old 5.25" floppy containers i used to have that held them, with dividers at about that same angle. clear plastic with black base, etc. pretty funny.
