Just ordered one of these as a uk site has the price massively wrong.


Its a 5u case that can be floor standing or rackmounted, 9x 5.25 inch drive bays - looks like a promising project case:

This link is an early revision of the case (changed to 120mm fan plus other little refinements)

Well got the box opened on Sunday and its an awesome piece of kit! Perfect for a roomy and quiet PC.

Hopefully I'll start the build this weekend (away with work this week)

So today I'm going to order the stuff.

The case has a pair of 120mm fans at around 40mm depth each, can anyone recomend a good 40mm depth 120mm fan?

the case also only has 1 3.5 inch drive bay. So whats the consensus on the best way of putting HDD's in 5.25 bays? I can either get an IcyDock thing that consumes 3 bays and hold 5 drives, or just get brackets or something, anythoughts? Wouldn't mind something quite novel!

Well if you want something novel and with the added bonus of being quiet, suspend them with elastic. Havent tried it myself as I havent the room in my small case, but it seems to be a popular mod on here.
