New upgrades...13+ drive build

[clearzero]

I decided to refresh my Unraid setup a couple of week ago.  I wanted to move over to a Xeon processor and needed a little more room for expansion.  Here is what I got.

 

CPU = Xeon E3-1276 v3 3.6GHz -  Item[/b]=N82E16819117317]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117317

Mobo = SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SL7-F-O  -  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182821  -  I like that LimeTech uses this board.  Having(14) onboard SATA connections was the main selling point.

Case = Nanoxia Deep Silence 6 Dark Black.  -  http://www.microcenter.com/product/429861/Deep_Silence_6_Dark_Black_-_ATX_Big_Tower_Computer_Case

Memory  =  Corsair UnBuffered EEC Ram - 16GB

 

Working perfectly at the moment on 6.0b6.  The case is really quiet in comparison to the Antec Gaming case I used to have.  I finally found a case that wasn't $400 and could hold up to 18-20+ drives if needed.

Nice looking case.    Hadn't seen that before, but will definitely add it to my list of good cases for relatively high drive count systems.

I've been eyeing this one for awhile. How do you find removing the drives given it's design? Do you have to remove both panels to first disconnect the drive then pull it out?
