I think it's the iceydock internal enclosure fitted to an Antec 900 case.

The icydock enclosure lets you put 5 sata drives in an hot swap enclosure(there is a 3 or 4 drive version as well i think) and the enclosure takes up 3 x 5.25" bays in your case.

Exactly right nade

Looks pretty good. The only thing that lets a lot of these cases down is the 'cheap' looking facias that optical drive manufacturers use. Some of them are just horrible.

This would look great in this case:-

As the silver on the front would complement the release handles on the Icydock

But I'm not dropping £180.94

How much storage you got mate?

I am looking at buying this case with a dock myself as i want lots of storage but a good speed too

and a really good sound card

edit: can i see a pic of inside too

HD DVD...what's that then??

Like Betamax but it didn't last as long

Diggsy · 26 Feb 2008 at 15:10

^ Yep, the best format lost out, yet again.

I really like the look of that but the bright writing detracts from the looks.
If the were embossed it would be the dogs danglies.

Goose500 · 26 Feb 2008 at 22:13

RJC · 26 Feb 2008 at 22:19

Looks good! like the thought of the multidrive might have to invest inone for my media center.

that icy dock makes the 900 look very wrong.

perhaps if you installed 2x icydocks it may balance it out a bit more... or even 3 using all the bays may be the trick!

Although at almost 70 quid for each module it may be pricey too

shauncr91 · 27 Feb 2008 at 15:49

Looking good

ElectroBlaster · 28 Feb 2008 at 22:53

How do these icy docks connect up? I assume you will need 5 sata ports on your board or a pci card with more sata ports if you havent...
