It's taken a good few months, with numerous quick-fix bits of hardware here and there but now, finally, my system is starting to take shape.
The components for the server came on Thursday and I've spent the last few days tinkering with it, getting it set up just right.
Component list (in rough L->R order):
Akasa Fan Controller Jr (3 controls plus 2 USB ports)
Be Quiet SilentWings 140mm fan
2x Xilence Red Wing 120mm fans
Corsair CX430
Asus LGA775 with 8 channel audio
2x 2GB DDR3 generic RAM
Xenta HDMI cable
Asus passive GT210
Pentium Dual Core E6600 3.06GHz
LiteOn DVD/RW
Samsung 500GB (OS)
Samsung 2TB (Data)
Casecom 6788 case (came with a blue LED 120mm fan)
MB, RAM and CPU fitted.
Bezel removed to replace the standard molex fan with a nicer quiet one.
Everything in, complete with half-arsed attempt at some cable management.
Better view of the exhaust arrangement, complete with massive top fan.
