How's this for a server case?

[NightFalcon]

Want to build a nice file server, but having trouble finding a decent case for this purpose. Found this one, but only one review on it: Here and Here.

Does anyone know anything about this case and does anyone have some other suggestions for a nice server case.

Depends on if you plan on rackmounting it. If not, there are alot cheaper choices out there. Antec SOHO SX1040 comes to mind. Describe what requirements you want for the server case so we have a better idea of what you want.

No rack mounting, just sit on the floor. I have the Antec SOHO case already, I'm looking for something a little bit more solid. Some of my requirements: room for 6-8 hard drives, floppy, cd-rom, and possibly a back-up tape drive (so 2 external 5.25" slots, and 1 external 3.5"), good cooling and not just for the mobo/cpu but also for the hard drives in the front, all intake fans should have a filter on them to prevent dust from going in, and security to prevent people from opening it up without a key. Actually what I don't like about that case is the fact that the power and reset buttons are out in the open, I'd much rather have them behind a door that I can lock, but that's a minor issue. So basically a case with good cooling, good physical security, and plenty of space.

That case above is probably the only thing I could find that comes close to those specs. If you have any more suggestions, please let me know.

Try the Antec SL 3700 AMb Cabinet.

$44.75 doesn't sound like high-end...

Here's another one that looks interesting, but once again no reviews... http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=11-182-551&DEPA=0

Anyone?

Might wanna check out the CM stacker. It's not one of these cube server cases but it does have a lot of expansion opportunities.
If you like cube server cases check Chenbro and YeongYang out.

The Codegen SR-101 would probably be better for you than the 201. Or possibly the Silverstone Berserker. Put a 4 or 5-drive, hot-swap rack in the bottom - just use your imagination. Most people don't notice it, but you can mount two more HDs on the side bar, just need to remove the other junk from it...
