Re: A fanless home file server
Really slick work!! Have you considered using countersunk screws? It would definitely help prevent snags when you need to dust off the shiny case :) Thanks! Yes, I was thinking about it, which would took me some another extra day of work :). But seriously, some my previous results with the 1.5 mm t...

Re: A fanless home file server

Thanks! I guess it is not way too slow, but, of course, it depends on which restrictions you have. ...

A fanless home file server
Hi all, I just finished on these weekends my one-week project, which I would like to show here. It is a file and a print server, which is essentially, as expected to be relevant here, a small silent PC. It has no fans and no moving parts except of the storage hard drives. I have built it on the Inte...
