Posted some info about the Norco SS-500 that is relevant to most of these builds: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12405.msg228153#msg228153

some images from the newer sataIII version: http://greenleaf-technology.com/new-norco-ss-500-5-in-3-drive-cage-review/ The main reason why I'd had to have the sataIII version is for the shorter depth of the cage along with the sata ports being laid out in a row rather than having to guess. just FYI, if you try and buy the SS-500 from Amazon, the default seller is 'Better Choice Online' and they only have the SATA II version. I reached out to them to check if they had the newer model and was told: After waiting a few days I gave up on them and just went ahead with my order at Newegg. If you order the SS-500 from Newegg, you should get the SATAIII version (but you may get different revisions of it). I ordered 3 cages from newegg and while all are the newer SATAIII variant I had one in the original revision (orange pcb with 3 pin fan) and two are (green pcb with 4 pin fan) For a shot of what they look like with the fan removed (note that the molex power have been flipped, 4 vs 3 pin fan, and then the sata ports are labeled 1-5 vs 4-0 now) http://i.imgur.com/iLrUaqB.jpg And I highly recommend replacing the fans in the SS-500 as they are way too loud for what they do. Per Raj and other forum suggestions they say that the Coolink SWif-802 are the way to go.. which is great if you live in Europe where you can find them. But if you live in america they are out of stock. Per QuietPC USA: So in the end I ended up trying out the Noctua NF-R8 for my SS-500 and they work great (I use the Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.) cable option). I picked up a 3 pack of the R8 fans on Amazon for cheaper than I could find two of the R8 fans alone.
