Has the gravity field changed in the future?

Very impressive, screw the fans though, that setup doubles over as a heater in Mother Russia where it snows half the year. Couldn't imagine anyone in America would go public with a setup like that and claims of 24 million songs and 70,000 movies, MPAA/RIAA would be busting down your door quicker than Steve Jobs personal police after the iPhone 4 leak.

Why not just one big box fan instead of a bunch of little fans. Cheaper and moves more air.

Easier to just wait 5 years when 70Tb will come as standard on a laptop.

[citation][nom]bin1127[/nom]I don't think a human lives long enough to watch 70 TB of movies.[/citation]
Probably Extremely high quality, HD At least.

 

[bebangs]

why not just setup a USB harddisk, just plug it in if you want to watch a movie. this is just overkill. thumbs up for simply making it possible.

Get a proper storage farm and you could essentially serve as the new Library of Alexandria.

Loved it its awesome i was thinking of 10 TB, but this guy has gone to 70TB.

 

[pcfxer]

lol, it is a storage bin for storage bins of storage.

Thumbs down for not getting it....

So we have 70.000 GB with DVD quality films. That's
70k / 4 GB = 17.500 movies

But if he had HD movies 720p/1080p as in 8-12 GB we would have about...

70k / 8 GB = 8.750
70k / 12 GB = 5.834 . So that's not a whole lot.

for ripping bluray..

70 TB now that I could use, Then I would just need an OC192 line to my house at 9.6 gigabits per second and then I could download everything from Boneless on Usenet Now lets forget that it would take me a year or more to sort though it all so I better have like 700 of the 70 TB boxes than I'll bet set for a year

[citation][nom]dogman_1234[/nom]Let us see:2 TB HDD=~150 USD70/2=4545x150= 6750 USD+9/fan=7110 USD[/citation]

70/2 is 35, cool math bro
The story also said that he had 60 HDs, which means he's not using all 2TB drives. Not a lot of people also seem to be taking mirroring or backups into consideration, he's really got only 35TB usable. If he has 12GB HD backups, that's going to be under 3000, a decent movie collection.

Unless he's making this project out of salvage, it's not very impressive. Fill a full tower with 2TB HDs and you can probably manage 30+ TB. Make a second one like this and network them for backup. Lot better looking than this fire hazard.

I really don't think this needs so much cooling.... stayed there for 8 years.... and it was always cold........ but it's sexy..... as they say "Zashibees "

 

[abhijeet1982]

make it unibody put apple logo and sell it. might get double or triple prise

 

[abhijeet1982]

make it unibody put a logo of apple and sell might get double of investment

 

[neiroatopelcc]

Jane not to ruin your day or anything, but buying three cheap 16 slot raid enclosures and filling em with 2tb sata drives would result in roughly 80TB of storage with 2 spares, and you'd only need one system to run it instead of two as this guy does. If time is money, that'd be cheaper and it'd have leds and an lcd display.

 

[wernstar]

Let us see:

2 TB HDD=~150 USD
70/2=45

45x150= 6750 USD+9/fan=7110 USD

70/2 = 35 in my world.... but maybe my math is just messed up, dunno...

 

[ivanlucrazy]

If he filled that up with 1080p movies (on average 8gb), he would need to spend 24 years and 6 months watching one movie a day , 365 days a year in order to watch 70TB worth of HD content! Yay!

And burn down like it did?

 

[Guest]

That's about $70 million in liability if those are pirated movies.

 

[ivanlucrazy]

Yeah but in Russia that doesn't matter. Every other video store sells videos that are just downloaded and burnt onto dvd's.

 

[willgart]

is it connected to a single PC? what type of controller is used behind the scene???
and the noise should be incredible!!!
for sure you can't watch the movie in the same room

and from I can see, there is space for far more disks in the "case", is there a challenge or a guiness record here?
