I mentioned whilst writing the Project Nineteen logs, that I would be back with a third project involving my server...
Well, after a few weeks of on/off 'modding' Project Yeong Yang is finally finished. However, whereas with my other two projects, I wrote a log alongside my work - for this, I've left the logging until now. So expect a full write-up over the next week or so, as I gather together all the pictures that I've taken throughout.
It's not as spectacular as Red Nineteen, or as bold as Pink PC - more practical than cosmetics.
For a start, it took me over 24 hours to format all of the drives within it. It has taken me weeks to plan the exact software setup. It has taken me hours to allocate drive letters, partition it all and decide what is going where. And that's only the Hard Discs. Off the top of my head, it has 14 fans of various sizes within it, keeping it nice and cool for 24/7 use. Tomorrow I've got to connect it up to the network finally and sort out users/permissions. Then it's just a case of putting it up into the loft, where it will remain for good.
Oh, then I've got to write several batch files and test them, prior to backing everything up. But if everything goes to plan, we'll have over 1.4TB of storage space to play with. Within the last few hours one of the 120GB drives crapped out on me, so it was quickly replaced with a spare 160GB I had lying around...
