For a while now I have been meaning to get on of these tiny Pico-ITX boards and build a little server with it.
I wanted at least 1TB of diskspace and I wanted it to be small.
I ordered the Pico-ITX a while ago but never managed to find enough time to build a case for it.
The Pico-ITX I got from mini-itx.com, along with a tiny DC-DC converter and external power supply, 1GB RAM, a 8GB flash card and IDE to CF converter.
The only 1TB harddrive I could find was a Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000, so I got that one.
I first wanted to go for an old radio as a case, but could not find one that I really liked, so I decided to just build a simple small case out of aluminium.
I bought some 500x500 mm alu-sheets from the hardware store some wood for decorating and got started.
The box measures 180x100x70 mm. The hardrive just fits into it with some space on one side for cables and the 8GB CF card. Above the hardrive sits the Pico-ITX board and next to it there is just enough room for cables and the DC-DC converter.
After running it for a while I did notice that the harddrive got quite warm and heated up the case, so I decides to attach some alu-profiles as heat sinks to the back of the case.
I also made a little air duct(out of paper) for the Pico-ITX board.
I put an Ubuntu 7.10 on it and the system is now running night and day as a server which does nightly backups, runs a slimserver and acts as a NAS.
It was a fun little project and I am quite pleased with the result.
The factor was rediscovered a few of} years later in the ore rutile by M. Klaproth named the factor titanium after the mythological giants, the Titans. In phrases of driving, the acceleration performance is improved after the vehicle is lightened, and the vehicle management stability, noise, and vibration are also improved. From the perspective of collision safety, after the titanium armor automotive is lightened, the inertia in the course of the collision is small and the braking distance is lowered. Reducing gasoline consumption and harmful fuel emissions has become one of many primary driving forces and instructions for technological progress in the automotive industry. Research reveals that for every 10% discount in the mass of a automotive, gasoline consumption can be saved by 8% -10%, and exhaust emissions can be lowered by 10%.
