Ram Drives
The hippocampus? or Memory storage solution of our project. For this project we
opted to use 2 v1.2 Gigabyte I-Ram ram drive cards. Each card acts as a
single 4 GB SATA Drive.
We will be using 2 of these as our intention is to create a single 8 Gig raid
0 (striped) Array for not only drive volume considerations. But we really
want to make our friends jealous with our system's load times! These things
are sick fast!
You could compromise and do 2 SATA laptop hard
drives in raid if you wanted to do a near no noise solution and save some
money. |

Aluminum Screen
As our project will be using some high voltages in a potentially sensitive
place we will be using some aluminum screen as grounding and shielding mesh
around the ion cooler. This stuff is really easy to work with and all you need
is a pair of scissors to cut and work with this material. 6.00 At big box
mart. |

Plexy
I chose to use plexy in this project because it's easy to work with and has
good thermal and dielectric characteristics. Any noob to modding should learn
how to both manipulate and shape plexy or at least order it from a plastics
supplier cut to size. If you wanted you could use a couple blue LEDs and
light the thing up like a Christmas tree! |
Tools that we used(I.E. you may want to use as well)
One note on power tools: use them at your own risk. Be sure to read and
understand any and all documentation on the tools you use. No amount of
documentation can make up for experience, but there are many people with
serious eye injuries at the school of hard knocks. If you don't know what you
are doing, don't do it and find some one that can help.
