It's for the media server, as is the case and cooler. My spare PSU was ruined by the flood. The rest of the components on the list are going in my main PC, and I still have the seasonic X1250 gold.

Media server will have a modestly OCed 4770K, 16GB DDR3, old Samsung 830 Pro, and 4TB of HDD storage for now.

I'm going to sit on my SLI 980s for a little while, and maybe do the GPU upgrade and 4K monitor at the same time. I'm mostly itching to get my Plex library and downloading/seeding onto a dedicated server.

I have been meaning to order a 10TB HDD for my massive Steam library not that I get to play a lot these days but still would like to not have to download constantly.

Would 10TB cover your whole library?

Doubt it but I don't need the whole thing installed. It would take me years to finish my library at this point.

I'm going to rent a spot in the corner of your shop.

Currently looking for apartments in Orange. Not staying on the East side and crossing everyday. I rather drive more miles than deal with the craziest traffic in South Louisiana.

Its not insane in terms of amount of cars. The thing that blows me away is the about of wreckage debris on the road daily and broken down cars.

I think ones a seagate NAS drive, ones a toshiba NAS, ones a WD Blue, and I forgot what the last 2tb is. They're all random ones I've bought for cheap off of craigslist/hardwareswap

I have 4x2TB WD Reds in there now but they are way too expensive.

Buying some Seagates which spin at 5200. It is just a NAS with 1 user.

I totally forgot about the 4TB WD Red I have. It's been in storage since the flood.

I would be scared to have 1 4TB drive with no backup.

It actually served as backup to the 3TB and 1TB drives in my main PC. I have it in an external enclosure. Not sure what I'll do with it now.
