Too many photos, I bet Da Boss is groaning about bandwidth...
I never thought it would happen but I think I need a case-project: my CPU temperature is getting over 60C under load in my present case (and I'm looking at an XP3200+) so, something's gotta give.

Just think Praetor, if all 22 of those hard drives were Hitachi 400GB you'd have something in the neigborhood of 8.8 terabytes :) That would last you for maybe a week or so.

i was going to suggest the case ive just bought the chieftec matrix server case but its only got six 5.25 drive bays and room for a further 4 hds inside giving a total of ten bays, for most people thats quite big but after seeing the pic of your hd packed monster it wouldnt be big enough.

the case you were asking about is infact the chieftec matrix server case the one ive just bought but pics of the standard case on the chieftec web site really dont do it justice must be seen to be believed, and its a big big case.

this is quite difficult to explain so ill give it a try 1 of the intakes is at the bootom of the case at the front the standard placing,the other 2 are attached to the removable hard drive bays you just pull a clip and the entire bay comes out no screwdrivers needed the fan then clips in to the front of the bay acting as a hd cooler/intake same as the other bay which is removable as well so theyre quite handy cos you dont need hd cooling.

Now thats wat im talking about, im even thinking of purchasing one of these

11x 5.25 Bays



CM Stacker is Cooler Master's newest, extreme-functionality computer chassis. Supporting up to 11 5.25 drives, CM Stacker is the first chassis ever to support E-ATX, ATX and BTX configuration. The dual power supply bracket allows users to install an additional power unit for power-hungry components. The CM Stacker is equipped with a movable front control panel and 6 front-mounted USB 2.0 connections to ensure first-rate connectivity with other peripheral devices. Easy to use, and providing maximum flexibility in the use of space, CM Stacker is the perfect solution.

Nice case and more than enough bays for most People, certainly enough for me. I didn't see a price for it.

Most home builders are using 4X 5.25's and 2X 3.5's, this case and the one Praetor posted are largely for building a servers. If you have use for multi-terabytes of storage then one of these is for you.

Then you may have found the case for you. My case has 4 5.25, 2 3.5 bays and room for 2 more 3.5 internal which for now is enough for me. I too build PCs but mostly for gamers.
