[nongv]

i need a good looking server case than can hold 10 internal hard drive? and with a good amout of cooling for it? what do you guys recommend for a 600 watt power supply?

Just looking at it, I think I could get 10 drives in my Lian-Li PC70 if I used the 3.5 and some of the 5.25 bays.

but i need room for a floppy and cd rom drive

Why 10 hard drives, isn't that excessive for a desktop type case? If you are building a server you need to use a server case.

 

[nongv]

yes a server case. but no hot swap one though.

I would be thinking of using an external scsi drive case, many hold 7 to 14 drives, it has it's own fans and PS, then just hook it up to external scsi ports.

Another thing to consider is a NAS server instead.

This one?

Never used it, myself. Might also want to investigate the cube cases....

I like the Lian-Li PC-76 for your needs. Link. If I remember correctly, Monarch computer may sell it, but I don't have time to check. For a PSU I would look into the Antec Truepower 550 if you think it would be enough. If not, check into some PC Power and Cooling ones.

This is the one I'm looking at. I love this thing!

that enermax case looks nice but i just need to verify if it can hold 10 scsi hardrive in it?

Are they 3.5 inch SCSI drives? If so...

Configurations: Four 5.25" and Two 3.5"visible and Six 3.5" hidden bays

That is a total of 12 bays. Minus one 5.25 for your CD-ROM, and minus one (either 3.5 or 5.25) for your floppy, that is 10.

Go look at supermicro website

SC942S-600

(CSE-942S-600)

 

[mroleg]

TT Xaser II can fit 10 hd's easily.

 

[beatle]

I don't think you want to be running 10 scsi hd's that need some kind of cooling in a regular tower case. You'll want a 5.25" bay for each one, and you definitely don't want to stack them on top of each other in 3.5" bays.

 

[LeadMagnet]

This would be a real good one if the CPU has to be in the same case as the drives.
Antec Server 1500 case


Ideally I would look at an extranal rack mount case where the drivers are mounted vertically next to each other for better cooling.

12 bay rackmount case

9 bay model

10 Bay rack

i like the supermicro case SC942S-600 that he posted up there but is just wondering will the 10 bay hard drive thing fit the seagate cheetah x15 36lp? or do i have to go with the eight one? i'm also confused on the spec on the processor support. it said either dual xeon, pIII, or single p4 processor. i am getting the Intel SE7500CW2 Pentium®4 Xeon DDR with 2.8Ghz (2) 400FSB CPU w/Fan . will it fit?
