Note that here DIY means designing the chassis, the drive loader mechanism, PCBs for backplate, power distribution (including crimping dozens of power cables), modding PCIe cards to fit.

It's not a boring "I bought a Chia mining server and inserted lots of hard drives" build.


You should watch the video before commenting; in the first 10 seconds it’s explained that everything is built from scratch, including chassis.


I would if I could but like I said, sometimes watching a video isn't an option. The move in some areas to publishing everything as a video instead of writing a proper article is problematic for multiple reasons. I am glad that most things on HN are print and much more discoverable and consumable in all situations.


Everything?


Well not everything of course, but at least the chassis and PCB boards.

I don’t think the most upvoted comment on this thread should be dismissing this as “not impressive”, not even having watched the video.


nit: the last letter of PCB stands for "board"
