V10 already... wow. Have posted pics of 4 of my CM casings in previous versions of this thread. So this is just an update of current status.

Centurion 590 - C2Q Q9550 main rig with 6TB (4x1.5TB Seagate)
Stacker STC-101 - i7-870 server with 20TB (10x2TB WD Black & Green)
Gladiator 600 - C2Q Q8200 NAS rig with 15TB (7x2TB WD Green, 1x1TB WD Green)
Centurion 590 - C2D E6600 P2P rig with 2.64TB - currently not P2Ping, so sitting idle
Elite 341 - C2D E6550 spare rig for visitors with 500GB - not using it much

Fans used in all 5 casings - mostly CM (PWM, "90CFM" LED, 140mm), some Xigmatek XLFs (especially in the Gladiator), Enermax Magma, AC Ryan UV, a few other UV-reactive fans.

Below are pics of my Stacker casing, not showing internals much 'coz it's all 'cacing' only with the SAS-SATA cables, dual PSU, etc. The lower 6 drive bays are taken up by 2 units of IcyDock's 5-in-3 removable HD cage, holding 10x 2TB drives. The white bays are holding the WD Blacks, the black bays are holding WD Greens. 2 bays taken up by BD-R drives (LG & Lite-On), 1 bay by the VLSys LIS2 Premium LCD panel, and 2 empty bays reserved for an IcyDock 3-in-2 removable HD cage (will buy on my next trip to Sim Lim Sq).

Internals: i7-870 cooled by Venomous-X (CM PWM fan + CM 90CFM blue LED fan in push/pull), 8GB Kingston Value RAM, Radeon HD 5770, Areca ARC-1222 RAID controller, dual PSU (both CM), bottom intake: 140mm Xigmatek XLF blue, top exhaust: 80mm Nidec Beta SL, CM crossflow fan installed, rear exhaust: CM 90CFM blue LED fan.
Monitors: 2x 23" Dell U2311h, 1x 24" Asus VH242H (shared with the Gladiator-based NAS rig)

Have not attached pics of the other 4 casings as they have been posted in previous versions of this thread.

The wheels make a big difference If not for the wheels underneath my Stacker, I would be so hating life... lol. Another alternative is to stick those little teflon things onto the bottom of your case. Your case will be easy to slide around after that. I do that for all my non-wheeled cases (especially for those that are meant to sit on the floor, or which are rather heavy). Beware of putting them onto light cases or those meant to stay on a desk.. they may just slide right off with just a little nudge!

Just an upgrade of my previous P2P rig, with new CPU, mobo, HDD, ODD and monitor.

Centurion 590 loaded with:
4x Lite-On DVD-RW drives
1x 2TB WD Black as OS drive
1x 2TB WD Green as data drive
2x 3TB WD Green as data drives
9800GT GPU (recycled)
Every single fan slot utilised and fans controlled by mobo and Aerocool Modern-V controller. All case fans are CM (the "90CFM" fans recycled, slim 80mm fan recycled, Excalibur new, 140mm blue LED new).
NZXT blue LED cable

Nothing overly creative, just trying to be efficient at ripping.

Yeah! It's an old one from ages ago, still works ok. Since this is not my main rig, I don't mind it there. Pity I can't find any drivers for Win7 though.

Haha thanks. Actually I own only original music CDs, and a whole lot of original DVDs (mostly TV box-sets from Amazon) and BDs. I just want to put them onto my home server, so I can stream them to all bedrooms (LCD TVs, PCs and media players), living room (HTPC, media player and projector; soon to upgrade to 3D HD projector) and kitchen (internet radio/media player). And with so many DVDs and CDs, having them available on-demand makes it a lot easier to find and play what I want.

Thanks

Once the DVDs have been ripped, I host them on one of my NAS boxes, so I just browse directly to the file/folder and play. No more changing discs.

You have a very nice casing. I have been thinking of getting one of the HAF cases (912, 922 or X) for my future main rig (currently its another Centurion 590 - UV theme).
