krazijoe Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Power Supply Seasonic 560W 80 Plus Gold ATX 12V/EPS 12V Power Supply - X-560 SS-560KM Memory Kingston Technology HyperX Blu 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM KHX1333C9D3B1/4G CPU AMD Sempron 145 Motherboard ASRock 880GM-LE FX AM3+ AMD 880G Micro ATX Case Antec Three Hundred Two SATA Connectors OKGear 18 inch UV Blue Premium SATA III Round Cable 6GB/s Straight to Right Angle w/latch Hard Drive Seagate 3TB. These turned out to be ST3000DM001 drives. All 3 of them. The price is about $25 - $30 cheaper than OEM Bare drives so I bought these and busted them out of the enclosure. Boot Drive SanDisk Cruzer Fit 4GB Flash Drive Currently preclearing. Planning on adding 2 2TB Drives. This is just for storage of my movies for XBMC and nothing else, yet... Are there any 4 in 3 or 5 in 3 cage that might fit? Or am I just going to be able to use the 3 5.25 slots and that is it? Quote Link to comment
rephormat Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Check the main website at http://lime-technology.com/home/87-for-system-builders under the Drive Cages section. Is this the information you were looking for? Quote Link to comment
chickensoup Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It may also be worth stating where you are posting from (US, UK, AU, NZ) as we have a large number of users from all around the world. I'm sure someone could post links to these cages once we know roughly where you are based Quote Link to comment

chickensoup Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sorry just had another look at your case, you should be able to use any 3x5.25" cage in the top there but you may have to either remove the black plastic "tool-less" clips, bend down the factory metal tabs or both. The icydock cages are considered some of the best, though also have a price tag to match. Plenty of options out there though: 3-in-3: http://www.amazon.com/Xigmatek-SATA-Hot-Swap-Cage-COA-UG0CBS-U01/dp/B007CJEULM/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340898994&sr=1-2 http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=152&type=photo 4-in-3: http://www.amazon.com/Icy-Dock-MB454SPF-B-Sata-Module/dp/B000KMAWQ0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340898898&sr=1-1 4-in-3 Trayless: http://www.amazon.com/Icy-Dock-MB974SP-B-Tray-less-Sata/dp/B004Q6MF9S/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340898898&sr=1-4 5-in-3: http://www.amazon.com/Icy-Dock-MB455SPF-B-Hot-Swap-Backplane/dp/B000KMAWHO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340898808&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment
krazijoe Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thank you Chicken Soup. That is what I thought but just wanted to make sure. No plans to expand that big yet just getting ideas. 10TB should be fine for this year... Quote Link to comment
mrow Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Supermicro cages are the best in my opinion. You could fit one of their 5 in 3's in the top three 5.25in slots. Quote Link to comment

I like living in AUS but if I ever move to the states I feel like I'm going to be in IT heaven. We pay a huge premium for all the good stuff Quote Link to comment
