A few weeks ago I started collecting all the parts for my "little" project based on two Xeon CPUs. Although they don't belong to the latest generation, they still pack some good performances. As you might guess this is not another gaming PC but it's more a workstation/server build log.

First of all I have to thank Noctua, Seasonic and Cablemod for all the parts that I have received for my project. The name of the worklog come from the shape of the case that I will use. Yea, I have no fantasy

Components:
- Tyan S7012 GM4NR
- Intel Xeon E5649 (x2 - 6c/12t, 80W)
- 32GB of memory
- 15 HDDS
- 1 SSD
- Lian Li PC-343B-XT
- Noctua NH-U12DX-i4 (x2)
- Noctua NF-S12A FLX (x6)
- Noctua NF-A14 FLX (x2)
- Cablemod cables

Since the Lian Li case features dual chamber design I will place all the HDDs on one side and I will keep the other one just for components. For this purpose I have to remove all the 5.25" slots and replace them with some 120mm fan brackets. If you have any suggestion about what I could use, feel free to poke me!

As I said, on the other side I will place all the HDDs. In order to make it all clean and easy to access, I will use several HDD racks. Regarding the airflow, there are nine low noise fans from Noctua and it should be more than okay.

Let's start with case pictures!
