Syrillian

Thanks for the consoling words...

but they are sitting at an angle that is off of the X-axis; the spindle will not be oriented in the true horizontal or vertical postions... more like the axis of the earth ~ "canted".

I know what you're speaking of, and I can tell you pretty much 95% certain that it makes absolutely no difference. Hard drive manufacturers have developed better mounting methods for platters and stabilized them so that they work in the wackiest angles and (semi-wacky) environments.

Okay... I'll chill out.

Lol @ me and getting all weepy-eyed over my little hatchling Velociraptors...

I am in agreement, but because I want it to be true I tread cautiously.

I was all ready to whip up a plan to mod the cages, but I think that I will hold off until I hear back from WD.

*oh look! ....I have a plate of cookies to share. Sweet!* (Burn, yours can only be by intention as your Modship precludes you from such tasty-treats. +Mod Rep )

Yeah i wouldnt change it yet since all i went by when i told you that i didnt think they should be angled, was a thread i saw a while ago where everyone replied not to place the hard drive at an angle, but horizontally or vertically.

Any word yet? I dont want to see no delays in this case.

The building and fabrication is still moving along. If the HDD orientation is a problem, the fix will only take a minor adjustment.

Tonight I plan on breaking down the case and doing the final polish on the main panels, the feet, the small risers for the feet and the other internal components that I have made. Additionally I will ease the corners of the carbon fiber angles and treat the edges so that they are glossy as well.

I order the mobo yesterday: Rampage Formula... YaY!

I have yet to hear from WD, but there is still much to do (at least another 30 days) before this project will be done.

I think this build log has more hype than Crysis did....

haha true! but i find that it will be much much more satisfying and appealing than crysis! i swear, i could just stare at it all day and i'd feel joy and excitement from just that! now imagine if you could actually tinker with it like syrillian!
