Hercules & Xena
 

I have had a lot of people who have been asking for Photos of Hercules & Xena The Game Server I started to build about 2 to 3yrs ago,
to go in GamingSA.com.  Now it's finished so hear it is.
I have had a lot of Noob's saying have you had it running and have you got anything running on it etc.
and the answer is YES this server is 110% running and working beautifully.

And I have had it running at home with all the Dedicated Servers running for about 2 to 4 weeks
So I took all the photos while both servers Hercules & Xena where running.
So you could see for yourself that it is running beautifully and you can see in the all the photos, all the fans spinning... even the photos of it upside down!

Everything is custom.
The case is made from light aluminium.
The fan grills are made from bar heaters grills and then re-bent and shaped to fit.  All aluminium was bent and shaped up the shed too
and the PSUs are all customised and anything that was changed was professionally soldered and heat-shrinked.
As you can see by the photos there is a lack of space so all the gender changes I had to mod too so they would fit
and most of fans needed to be changed on the linishing machine to let the PSU cables etc come into the case
Even the Hercules & Xena logo on the case took me hours to edit and make
and the paint job took its time to get something to suit the Hercules & Xena theme.
I modded SOFII Server... as you can see in photo its got GSA and GamingSA.com on stuff in game.
There are 21 fans in the box and 17 of them are 74CF hi speed TT case fans. It sounds crazy :D

Anyway unfortunately GamingSA.com have now decided as it is a custom case they now won't accept!

Its just under 15KG's with everything in it running so that = 7.5KG ea PC some of the TT cases are 19KG's with nothing in them
and its 425x750x90 so its the same size as a normal 2RU rack I got off eBay just 50mm longer
