New BIG Case

[Xe0n]

I need a new big case, with atleast 5 5 1/4 bays and 4 3 1/2 internals, atleast 1 3 1/2 external

i would prefer one which i can add a second powersupply to, i like a 300 for my system and a 250 for accessories like fans and stuff

would also like a good amount of fan mounts

the tornado 2000 looks good but it doesnt allow for a 2nd power supply

I hear Whoopi Goldberg has a huge black box. Go see if she wants to sell it.

The Addtronics W8500 is a big case with 8 spots for fans, it comes with a 300 or 400 watt PS.
It doesn't have a spot for a second PS though.
It is an awesome case. Check it out Here

Edit: Oh yah... It has 5 external 5 1/4, 5 internal 3 1/2, and 1 external 3 1/2

Hmmm.....I have a Tornado 2000 with two P/S's........a 300W & a 400W!

The Addtronics 7896A or 7896A-120 fits the bill. I'm sure Jim Hanson could answer any questions about them and set you up nice (great service and prices). Bought one from him for a friend in August.

lol setaanbomb! hahahaha

if i had the cash i would go for the chenbro genie. i'm fairly sure that it can take two power supplies. check out genie

if not.... who cares its a kickass case

I had the pics........I'll try and find them.........yeah, Imodded it.....just took out the fan above the P/S and modded the hole, then added two 60's above the second P/S!

Does the Addtronics 7896A have 4 3.5 internal bays? I thought it only has 2. Genie is a good case, I like its brother the Chenbro Net. Jim Hanson sells this one as well, or it is at servercase.com for $265.

The default setup has a hanger for just 2, but with the optional hangers it can have up to something like 7 I believe...

that addtronics is catching my eye...seems relitivatally cheap also, ill defintally look into it...u think theyll bundle it with 3 pin fans instead of 4 pin ones for me (in a few weeks when the DigitalDoc 5 is comming out im getting one)

I have that WTX 8500 case and its like one big ass Box you have to see it in person to know what i mean, Its so big i can't even find a word to express it only thing i can say is that its a big ass box! You have to see the box it ships with looks like a damn deep freezer is in it or something. Oh yeah excellent on cooling even with only 2 fans in it i added a cardcooler XT and i have an alpha kit/artic thermal paste for my 750 athy, let me tell you. The cpu never goes above 28c. If you can find it for 185 bucks like me then get it.

anyone know any other way to contact Jim Hanson? his email (which i guess is @home) is rejected...even though im an @home user...damn it @home...anyways, my question is, i know this supports redundant power, but does it come with a standard face plate so i can stick a second standard atx power supply or is my only option without modding it redundant?

He hangs out over at Ars Technica quite a bit. Speciffically their Case and Cooling Fetish board (note: he's jfh). Not sure about your last question...ask him.
