File Server Case

[Valo]

I need some help finding a good case to house my new Windows Server 2003 File server.

My requirements are:

Minimum 5 Hard disk Bays (not bothered about hot swap)
Easy access
Good build quality

What do you recommend?

The Akasa Eclipse.

It was originally a server case, bought and re-branded as a superb desktop case by Akasa.

How about any case that takes your fancy plus one of
these

I'm using a similar type of device in a lian li g50 for my file server

What's your budget, Valo? I'm partial to the big Lian Lis like the V2000 and v2100.

Depends no more than £110 might be able to squeeze to a little bit more depending on the case and if there is just cause.

Not a bad idea...I'll keep it in mind

That's in the running!

CM Stacker. Will fit more drives than Eclipse 62, and is about the same price once you've added fans to the 62. You'll need another CM 4-in-1 module though (comes supplied with 1)

Cm stacker is probally the best case if you want lots of hard drives
