Where are you, PeterB? WiredZone (www.wiredzone.com) is a Supermicro retailer that ships to a lot of countries around the globe, and they sell those CSE-M35T-1 for US$ 102.

No, we have socialized services like education and health care, not socialized economy. Taxes are high, but it's our choice to universalize these kind of public services, so we have to pay for them. Hum, I fell uncomfortable with these 60mm fans, seem not a very efficient way of cooling drives, but I like trayless design.

Userpaul, where did you get those sata power cables? Ps: very nice job, this case is a monster!

I've done a addon: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7248.0

What's the difference between Hamachi and OpenVPN? I may be able to develop a plugin as soon as v5 is out, but need to know what to implement, and what users want and need. Now I have OpenVPN running fully functional with custom kernel, but should be possible to distribute the needed kernel modules with the plugin.

It's a shame that those gorgeous 5-in-3 trayless backplanes only have two 60mm fans, instead of a single 80mm or 92mm fan. It's a deal breaker to me, since the medium temperature here where I live in Brazil is 22ºC with some peaks of 38~40ºC at the end of the year (summer in south hemisphere). :'(

guiri, what about the hard drives temps? Isn't those 6mm fans loud?

Yes, the original from RC-590.

Rajahal, I'll be able to reach this limit without the use of any 5-in-3 modules. I've just updated the [iurl=http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2031.msg64832#msg64832]topic above[/iurl].

It has thirteen 5.25" external bays, so I can put four 5-in-3 modules for a total of 20 drives and still have one bay to other drive, but I'm tired of having trouble with these hot-swap modules, since my two Norco SS-500 have faulty SATA connectors on the backplane that oddly results in error messages at the syslog.

Rajahal, just changed the images host!

Here is my system build: Case: Power Strike Ps-613 with 13 x 5.25" bays Mobo: Foxconn A6VMX CPU: Athlon II X2 245 Memory: 2 x 2GB Kingston DDR2 Controller: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 Drives: 7 x 1TB WD Green + 1 Samsung 300GB used as cache PSU: XFX P1-650X-CAG9 Modular Will soon change the motherboard. The first picture shows the Power Strike side by side with the Cooler Master RC-590. Pictures: Edit1: Just changed the PSU to a modular one: XFX P1-650X-CAG9 I've successfully adapted the CoolerMaster RC-590 hard drive cage on the top of the PSU, so with a new 4-in-3 adapter I'll be able to achieve 20+1 hdd limit.
