February 23, 20179 yr Available from newegg for $86.99 and free shipping. Don't think $81.00 shipping, is reasonable from Norco. NORCO RPC-470 Black 4U Rackmount Server Case 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays - OEM I can attest this is a great case, and the iStar 5x3.5" in 3x5.25" Hot swap bays work great with it. I built by 2xE5-2670 system in it. Edited February 23, 20179 yr by Drider

Of course i dont have 16 2.5 drives so the cage is sitting collecting dust and I had to buy the caddies for the 3.5 drives. ANYHOO what did you used to power all ten drives plus your cage? did you have to use splicers

ANYHOO what did you used to power all ten drives plus your cage? did you have to use splicers I actually went with a: Seasonic X-850. I'm running 15 Total drives in 3 of the iStar 5in3 Docks. No need for splicers as the docks run off just two SATA power plugs, though I did use Molex adapters to single SATA power as the docks has a stupid stacked plug system for the SATA power input, and standard right angle SATA power plugs were ridiculously tight. The run for power to the opposite corner of the case to reach that dock was a bit tricky too. I also have two SSD's mounted in the main hull of the server with one of these drop-in additions: OS Hard Drive SSD Mounting Bracket for Norco RPC-4224, RPC-4220, RPC-4216, RPC-4116 In all it's a great system, and I'm getting ready to put the second one together for a Hyper-V Core 2012 R2 server which will house 30 SSD's in 5 6x2.5" in 1x5.25" Docks. Plan on getting 20-26 VM's on the machine, maybe more depending on system load. Edited February 24, 20179 yr by Drider

October 20, 20187 yr I'll be damned if I can find the manual for this case. I've searched their site and got nothing and there is nothing in the box. Seems well constructed, but probably going back if I can't find it.
