Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?


All this talk of cases has me thinking...anybody have a suggestion for
a case that would have enough harddrive bays to have 5 harddrives,
preferably with a space between them for airflow? I'm starting to
think about my next NAS box...

Thanks,
Randy

If you want a quiet case, the Antek cases and power supplies are great
(cf http://www.antec.com/us/pro_en_lifeStyle.html), and they make some
smallish form factor ones. Combine that with a quiet CPU fan and the first
time I powered mine up I didn't think it was working as I couldn't hear it.

They are somewhat expensive (in the $100 range, depending what you get and
where) but well worth it if you value the quiet.
