The Sucker - Planning

The Sucker

Highly inspired by StarScream's sucker (http://www.gamers-underground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16823) i have decided i want to build a bigger and better one.

Aim
To build a mobile leach box which must include the following features:
Easy to transport and carry
Easy to use
Contain 1 power and 1 Network cord only
Must not look like computer
To look good

Budget
"00 max is the budget for this project excluding hard drives.

Ok so i want to build a sucker that looks similar to starscreams but will have a motherboard, cpu, ram and OS includes as well. Im guessing wood will be the easiest to work with as i have tools for that and its cheap and easy to paint but im open for suggestions. my design is pictured below.

So far i have obtained a power supply, motherboard with cpu and ram and only managed to spend 25 bucks.

Constructive suggestions and comments most welcome.

EDIT: someone mentioned i might atcually want to add my picture of it lol, so i will

How big are each of those hdds? I count 18, am I right? That is a freakin beast!

most of them are 200 gigs. there is 1 10gig for OS, one 18gig scsi for swap and temp, and 3 120gig drives. the rest are 200s.

lol dam rain thats gonna make my sucker look dismal :(

Haha heya Rainwulf, crazy as always I see :p

haha i was never sane!

And 2 tb is pr0n, I take it? ;-)

Yeah Slight overkill me thinks.

Hard drive space can never be overkill...

In fact, 3TB might just be enough...
