I've been looking at the fanless cases made by A-Tech Fabrication. So far, they appear to run very quiet/cool even with several drives spinning. I'm waiting for a mini server case that the builder is currently working on. You can take a look a their cases here: http://www.atechfabrication.com/ At one point during my research I was leaning towards buying the sexy NAS4x with its "Slimserver supported" ReadyNAS IT71004 board and 4 500GB Barracuda drives to run the Slimserver. http://www.atechfabrication.com/ms_NAS4x_order_form.htm But as I mentioned before, CPU power plus wanting to play with the nightly Slimserver builds and new plug-ins prevented me from taking the last step. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24428 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
