Need advice on a new case!!

[Ulfwald]

I need a new case, Must be the biggest dang case on the market. I will be putting in the following components:

1 TDK 24X CD R/W
1 Pioneer Slot load DVD
1 SM&F 6X SCSI CDR
1 Live Drive II with Infrared
1 Up Front USB Internal Hub
1 Floppy Drive
1 15 GIG Boot Drive
5 20 GIG Storage Drives
Dual Processor Rig,
1 Colorado
Now here is the kicker: All my HDDs have Fans in front of them so I will need to mount them in the 5.25 bays as well. so you can see, I need a HUGE case with at least 10 5.25 bays, and 2 3.5 bays. More 5.25 bays would be preferred, up to 15 would be best. Also, Need some good cooling posibilities.

this one has 10 5.25 bays

i've seen many cases with 6 5.25 bays.... but the one above is the only one i've found with more (course i didn't look really hard)

can anyone else find one with more 5.25 bays?

Yeah, I have seen the one at Directron, I am considering that one. But I was hoping for perhaps a File server case tha may have that many bays, maybe in a side by side configuration.

BTW...why and how did you acquire 5 20GB storage HDDs? Wouldn't it be easier to just sell the 5 drives and get a single 100GB drive? You could probably sell each HDD for at least 25 bucks, and you'd almost have the money for the 100GB.

I snuck some money past the wife, and they were the biggest IDE drives at the time. I have not filled them up yet, and I like having the drives there for different OSs if I want. I am currently running linux on one, W2K server on another, and next will be solaris.

what about a cube server









Here

if you want it modded here is an examplestratagem


if you want to be different but not sure if it will hold a dual but it should as it is big for being so little

Dimensions: 14" Wide x 17" Deep x 14" High

hope this helps

also there 3 versions using google dearch for cube server cases one is 13 x 17 x13 and the other is 15 x 21 x 15 i believe let me know if intrested and i will hunt them up peace...

Why U need 2 cdr's? If ya Kicked the scsi one, and got an Audigy with a breakout box you could go with an antec 1030.
