Needed: Big Boring File Server Case

[statik213]

I'm looking for a casing that has more or less the same functionality as the Coolermaster Stacker but without the funky ATX/BTX switching stuff (that makes it expensive).

I want something that's cheap, I'm not really looking for a tool-less design but it's a definite plus. I have quite a bit of stuff in my rig. I have 2 optical drives (DVD-ROM,DVD-RW), 4 harddrives (2 SCSI 10k rpm's, 2 ide 7200 rpm's), a floppy and a zip drive... and my MOBO has a Video Card (an old ATI Radeon 9000), SCSI Controller, Ethernet Adapter, Modem and SB Live Sound Card sitting on it.

So I need something with a lot of space for all of these guys to live happily together 🙂.

Also... I'm on the lookout for a Power Supply, I'm not sure if my 500W supply is handling things too well. So am interested in anything in excess of 500W.

Thanks a bunch!

I use an Antec Sonata case for my fileserver. It's got enough room for all your stuff, it's very quiet, and it's pretty affordable as far a decent cases go. You might be turned off by the stock 380W PS.

Thanks bigfatdonny..
but i'm looking for something a little cheaper.... 🙂
I'm trying to get a PSU and case for about $80...
So i'm guessing i'll have to go with unbranded stuff....
