What I'm actually looking for is this:

But the one on OcUK looks a bit too cheap to be it.

There's a few models :
- Lian Li EX-23 - 2 bay, 3 disks, 'slotted' facia (older)
- Lian Li EX-33 - 3 bay, 3 disks, 'holes' facia (newer) designed for the A16/V1000 cases, etc.
- Lian Li EX-343 - same as EX-33 but with no logo (rare)
- Lian Li EX-34 same as EX-23, but 3 bay
I bought a EX-33 to go with the one which came with my A16 case, sadly from a competitor as OcUK didn't have them on the site when I ordered them - and yes, the price on the OcUK site for the EX-23 looks too cheap to be true, they usually retail for £15-20 - worth an email to verify the price and/or the exact part, methinks.
The cooling performance is incredible, cooling my 4 15k SCSI HD's cool to the touch - but at a price, the noise. I run the 12V fan's in mine at 5V to keep the noise down, and the HD's are still barely warm, 7V is bareable but still too loud for my liking. The rubber washers which the HD screws sit on work brilliantly, idle noise and seek vibration is practically zero.
They come with a air filter which sits between the fan and the front grille, too.

Ah thanks mate. Looking for the 2 bay ones, as I'm on a PC-7+ and want to keep the other 2 free for optical drives, etc. Looks like they might be quite hard to come by though. :-/
Ah well, have sent a query to OcUK. I'll see what they have to say.

They are quite hard to come bye.
I ended up going with three of the silverstone equivalents that do 3 bays to 4 3.5" for my server.
Bit more common.
I know a competitor that stocks the lian li ones if your interested mail me at [email protected]

Heh, actually I sent a query to OcUK asking about it, with both a link to the Lian Li site and the ones for sale on the OcUK site, and a note saying that the price seemed... unlikely. And they came back and basically said "Yup, that's it." So... even though I still seriously doubt it is it (99p??) I've ordered one and gonna see what turns up on friday. If it is one I'll buy them all and sell 'em on ebay. lol. If it's not, I'm not too fussed. (Though will be mildly annoyed that they said it was...)
