What a stringy mess! But a beautiful mess at that.

This small CPU cooler is such a blast! I'm keep temps in the low 30C range consistently.

CPU cooler box just for referencing later.

Ready for installing OMV. Where is my iodd?

Ah yes, there you are! If you don't have an iodd, add it to your Christmas wishlist. These things are so underrated!

Install successful now to install Glances to check those CPU temps! Then tidy up those cables.

All the hot-swap drive bays! Mmmmmm yes!

Temps are doing good but I'll let it run for an hour to make sure. Click here for a closer look.

Clean, minimal setup. I'll swap out that RAM later for a set that's more suitable for this server. I don't need the RGB and the 4266 speed is better put to use on a desktop gaming PC.

Cables look good. I like the cross bar on this case for helping tidy up the cables. It really does make this case/chassis clean up well!
