HEAT

So got everything in the pelican case and started to do a limited transfer of some of my datahoard and even with the case open and the monitor not on there was an insane amount of heat that i am going to have to find a way to mitigate. If anyone has suggestions besides .....Fans.....let me know. The 2 main contributors to the Btu's are the CPU and the HDD's Those 20 TB drives generate some serious kelvins when they are at high use.
Also got done with all the EM hardening that i could do with all the components outside of the motherboard and the drives themselves.

Need to find someone with a decent CNC so i can finish the cover for the components because doing it by hand is going to be a royal mess and only have one PEEK sheet to work from as they are hella expensive.

Swapped the 2 port SATA PCI-E card for a 4 port and added a 5TB Cache and a 2.5 TB Log drives to the array to make transfers faster and have better redundancy and some expansion later.

I am also going to swap out the 17" monitor that i have in the lid for a smaller form factor touch screen to be able to add some more control with the touch sensitive keyboard that i am working on from 2 RPI 7" touchscreens but not sure if that is going to work out and may have to use some sort of fold able KB/Touch pad combo

Haven't had much time to dedicate to Polaron lately as the job has been keeping me on my toes lately but will try to add some more build logs as i go
