I went with the Erying i5-13420H SRMHX ddr5. Had boot issues with the debug light stuck on ddr. Reached out to support and they suggested different ram. Returned the Teamgroup 16GB 5600Mhz DDR5 for Crucial 32GB 5600Mhz DDR5 but had the same issue. Tried working with support for a few days but ended up RMA the board.

Did your erying board arrive? Curious what your thoughts are on it.

I'm considering this one. Anyone know how the Radeon 780m igpu performs or how power hungry it is. NasCompares on youtube has a short overview of the board but didn't touch on either of my concerns.

Screws for the hard drive trays? Could try these https://www.ebay.com/itm/324190345160

Looks like the stock image for a lot of their products on the site. Did they provide any other info? Either way its nice to know what you've got. Should make for a fun build. Interestingly, under the server rack section they have what they call cd/dvd duplicators. They appear to be a variation of your case in single or cube (side by side) styles. The cube series model 1400c has 29 x 5.25 bays in front and says it can be expanded to 49 x 5.25 using the back if im reading this right. Screenshot of the flyer.

Very cool. Keep us posted. I may also reach out to them about that TP2000-C.

I was curious so I hit google for a bit. Very interesting design. You're correct it's not the exact model but it had to be something under the same manufacturer given the color, case style, fans, switches, drive cut outs and the door mounting holes. Of the two I prefer the one you have for it's layout. It looks like they also offered a rack mount version around the same era but with far less storage space. The Topower TP-1945 http://www.dansdata.com/tp1945.htm The company still has a website up but it's hard to find distributors that carry any of their products. It looks like they shifted to more generic case designs but do offer one server chassis marketed as a "raid case". The TP2000-C which supports 14 x 5.25 drives. I can't find anyone that sells it or any mentions other than their site.

Took a little digging but I'm pretty sure that's a Topower TP-1400 server case or a similar model from the time (late 90's). It would have originally come with doors on the front like this. The only info I can find on it is from a review of the case in 1999. http://www.dansdata.com/tp1400.htm Really cool find. Would make for a crazy build.

Love it. I've got an Antec 902 I would like to do something similar to. Which hotswap bays are those? EDIT: Think I found them. The Silverstone SST-FS303B.
