Lots of progress, well sort of
Got a pic of the cut plates and the mounted hard drive disks:
Looks nice, doesn’t it? Heh, well maybe not, but at least its something 
Anyway, been looking for a solution for the power supply for the cluster. Seems it isn’t as easy as I thought. The normal ATX PSUs found in normal PCs only have one ATX connector for the motherboard. And, the power supply actually connects to the motherboard for power on. There has been someone who has made a Y connector to connect two motherboards, but there are issues with it. The other option is using these DC to DC converters and a AC to DC converter. This might be a good solution if I can get them cheaply.
In other news, I got some good help from paul_c for the backport of mini_fo for Clusterix. Seems he will help work on the port for me which will be great, as I really have no idea what I was doing 
Should have more info on that soon.
Besides that, also finished up my “Week of Horror” today with a Discrete Mathematics exam. Seems I didn’t study enough for it, as at least three questions I wasn’t really sure on, but hopefully I’ll still get an A on it. Bah, math usually comes extremely easy to me, but this type of math hasn’t been too easy.
