pinormous

The previous owner (who had the house custom built) just had a deep freeze in there; not sure why he wanted the vent, but I appreciate his attention to quality, detail, and versatility in his design choices. Was hoping to find someone I could buddy backup my PC image with; I'm sure we can help each other out.

I expect it will, yes. I have an unused, enclosed nook under the basement stairs; it already has an exhaust vent I plan to put a fan in and it'll be a short run to add an 10/8 gauge drop from the 200 amp box in the garage.

Howdy ya'll, I'm pinormous. My interest in computers started back with RollerCoaster Tycoon, a game that could run on anything. I was soon puzzled why other games couldn't be played on my family computer, quickly learning that not all computers have the same capabilities. As my knowledge grew, I stumbled into the LimeWire era of data hoarding and never looked back. Over the next 7 years bigger hard drives were purchased then filled, external drives were acquired then subsequently filled, heard about Plex as a way to remotely access all my content, then I finally got serious about my addiction and bought an 8-bay NAS - giving me 34 TB of useable space. This will surely be enough, I told myself, there's no way I'll fill it up. 5 years later, I found out how much of a lie that was. So I'm now diving down a new rabbit hole of disk shelves and servers. If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing; so I have a 28U rack that I'll be filling with networking, power management, and whatever else I can slap in there and explore. I have 2x24 bay shelves that, once populated, should net me around 900 TB of useable space. Surely, this will be enough space. There's no way I'll fill it up. I'm looking forward to the journey of learning new software and hardware that will enable this upgrade in the coming year, with HexOS hopefully making my first real move outside of Windows a simpler foray, leaving plenty of time to tinker more with networking. When I'm not learning-by-doing, I am frequently found playing factory or driving games. When I'm not off the clock, I travel the US as a longhaul truck driver (which piqued my interest after putting hundreds of hours in ATS and ETS2), so having my own personal Netflix is a real saving grace.
