May 29, 201214 yr Are there any tower cases that can hold upto 4 5in3s (SuperMicro CSE-35T), and have the option to mount 2 drives internally?
May 29, 201214 yr I just finished putting the last bits in my Antec 1200 case. All told it was more expensive than a Norco 4224 but by spreading the purchases out it was more palatable. In the 1200 I have: 3 Norco SS-500s 5x3's (2 with the quiet fan mod, 1 without, just waiting on the fan to come in, these are really loud) (~$90 each) 1 IcyDock 3x2 (~$70) 1 IcyDock 4X1 (2.5" drives(unRaid Cache, datastore drives)) (~$60) All of that plus the 2.5" mount in the bottom = 23 drives Before the last SS-500 this system was quieter than the laptop I had sitting on top of it, now I don't hear the desk fan running behind me. Of note... I got Swif2-800 fans, thought I ordered Swif2-801. Now that summer is here and my office is 75F the temps in the modded SS-500s run about 10C higher than the non-modded one, I'm getting as high as 42C on parity checks and 32-38C in normal operation. The 801 fans have a higher flow than the 800's.
