Case Recommendation please - 9 HD's and DVD Writer

[JoshFink]

I'm looking for a good case recommendation please. I have 8 hard drives in a raid 5 array and 1 hard drive that run the boot drive (don't ask). I'd also like to have room for 2 5 1/2 drives. I'm looking at the Lian Li PC-70 but would like other recommendations if possible. I'm definately looking for something with a lot of cooling in it especially around the HD's.

Thanks

Josh

key question: how much money do you want to spend.

 

[JoshFink]

As little as possible

Of course, I want to get a good case, so I'll have to weigh price vs. performance. Any suggestions?

Well an Antec SLK3700AMB would actualy fit all your stuff but it be kinda cramped, however very nice case w/ decent PS, Also has dual 120mm fans for cooling and one of the fans blows directly onto 5 HDDs

Thank You.. I'll check into that case.

I was also thinking about going with this I found the other day.

Look under Bow Tech and Codegen (under regular ATX cases) on newegg. While you're looking there also see the add on drive cages under: Shop by Category > Accessory, Case > Ever Case .
. Then cogitate some more about what could be done w/ those brackets and the Bow Tech... Throw in a good Fortron/Sparkle/Heroichi(Compucase) PSU and you're set.
