Who makes good workstations?

[chmike]

I need to find a PC manufacturer who could supply a system with space for 6 hard drives (we have 5 already) that we can RAID-5 with a raid card. Otherwise it's an ordinary PC; one or dual processors. I need to spec this out for work (no, I don't want to build it myself unless that's the only alternative). I've found boxxtech.com; Dell doesn't look like they have any cases that fit the bill. Any others?

thanks

HP or IBM they both make high end workstations

I forgot to look at your profile before posting, so I don't know if a US company would be OK, but I'll leave it here anyway.

You might have to look at a 'server' chassis to get more drive bays if the 'desktop' or 'workstation' models don't fit the bill. You might also try a more customizable builder like Monarch or Falcon Northwest, where there is a wider selection of cases available for 'desktop' machines.

Sounds like its time to buy a NAS or SAN

well, the person wants to move his data from a RAID system attached to a Unix box and incorporate it into a new PC purchase. He needs about 1 Tb and figures he can reuse the 5 X 250Gb hard drives from the raid system (they're IDE drives with an external SCSI interface - a scsi card would work, but he doesn't want the noisy raid box in his office (dual power supplies, noisy fans, etc).
