Hello,
These are some initial images of my new 4U Rig.
My objectives were two-fold, 1) to obtain as small of a rig as possible, 2) and more importantly, that the completed rig did not weight all that much. I believe that I have accomplished these objectives.
* Size: 15"H x 26"W x 21"D
* Total weight 42lbs.
Image 1 and Image 2
* Using an InWin 1U IW-RA100 chassis, 15.5" x 19" x 1.75"
* Chassis weight - 7lbs
* Takes a full-sized ATX motherboard, ASUS Z170P
* 350watt PSU, and which is actually very quiet.
* Using a 120GB SS HDD - Boot and a 500WD Black spinner for data
Image 3: A custom-made riser card from OrbitMicro.
* Andrew Stevenson was very, very helpful in ensuring that I was able to obtain the correct adapter.
Image 4: As you can see, the fan and RAM sit slightly above the chassis, so I had to have a hole cut out of it. I am in the process of having a small shroud made to cover the protruding components.
Image 5: Rear view of the system. I was not able to obtain an I/O shield - at least thus far.
Image 6: Closed view of the rig.
* The front and rear of the case are identical. There are only three parts to remove - the lid and front and read covers.
* Built by: Castor-Case Solutions
Image 7 and Image 8: Up and running.
* Focusrite PRO 40 in standalone mode - to work alongside with the RME HDSP 9652.
* ART PB4x4 power distro.
Image 9: These are pop-out window hinges that allow the monitor to lay flat for transit or be slide to a nearly vertical position.
* Interestingly, I was told by the engineering department at the manufacturer that these would NOT work for my intended usage. However, as you can see, they were wrong - and to my satisfaction.
