:D Not often i get to play with "fun" hardware at work so this is proving quite enjoyable. Sadly no games going on them as they're being setup as cheap windows multipoint server 2011 servers. No reason for the post beside willy waving really *wooo waves willy*

Any else playing with "fun" hardware today?

Like the case.

Found the odd issue with them to be honest, they have nice hot swap drive bays on the front but you can't use 2.5" drives in them so i've removed them completely. Which brings me to my second issue, I forgot to get modular PSUs for this.....so without a modular power supply you almost have no choice other than to remove those bays as there's literally no where else for you to stuff the cables.

Will be building two more of these soon though so won't make the PSU mistake again.....that said there is one more issue with the PSUs and that's that the PSU has to be below a certain size in order to fit, this corsair one is about half a centimetre too big, again solved by removing the hotswap caddies though.

Also they've thought about 2.5" disk users and given you somewhere to mount the drive, but every way around you put the drive ends up becoming an issue with the cables coming out the end...AGAIN solved by removing the hot swap bays lol

So basically apart from the **** up in the design of the hot swap drive bays they're lovely cases :D
