Hello Men,
For make an suite to this thread "Component Selection"
i have decided to build my own TVE server Case.
Voila the result :
History :
My eyes was locked on this case : E420B with front acces.
but this case was too depth for my cabinet. So i called manfucaturer for build an personal case. i send to him this project : an e420b but reduced.
but at the end, i must buy 30 ex minimum. with prototype .... so not the good solution for my money.
The Project :
After search the e420b or clone case. i have switch to an other solution.
Take an old case and modify it.
i have forget to take picture of the original case.
The closet ( under WC lol ) :
This "box" contain 1 rack 8 ports for HomeLan ( Cat 6A) + 1 Switch Netgear 8 port Gigabyte + 1 Nas 5 bay ( empty since 2 year 500€ for HDD )
And the New TVE server 90% finished ( missing back panel / and Electrical stuff )
It's composed of an old Computer case resized to 420(l) x 230 (h) x 280 (d), the height inside the case id 180mm
with an old Tuner hifi for Add 2 x 5.25" bay.
I have added also 2 bay 3.5" who can be removed if needed ( CPU Radiator very high)
The Hifi Tuner modded with 2x 5.25 bay
i have planned and already buy, an adaptator ( 1x 2.5 + 1x 3.5 to 1x 5.25 bay )
Closing the rear panel
Next update contain the small wood-panel for support LED and one switch button.
I'm agree it's not beautifull, but as it's for server ...
Rear of the wood panel with the switch M/B who is incrusted inside Wood, only missing hot-glue.
The wood will be painted in black. with spray ...
The Hifi tuner with HDD rack.
Edit :
mounting the case
Claning the case :
Finish the mounting, with the HDD case + PC components
and the Server on his location.
Final Result :
The closet with all hardware inside
and with the door
Let me know, what do you think.
