Beave,
I am going to study this share. I do not ever expect to have 12 hd's, but
at least there is some expansion......I will study this one.
Understand the psu comments. Would use the current pcp&c 510w from my
current box.
Thanks.
Best,
Duncan

Hello,
I myself use and recommend the Chenbro RM31212B #U Raid/Server Rack mount
case.

Right now I have 2 Dual core Xeons in the system with 12 500GB Hard drives
in Raid 5+1 with spare configuration.
The only con I can say is get a powerful Power supply if you want to put in
more than 12 HD's. I use a 550w atm and it does not want to power up all
the HDs on power up sometimes, so I have to reset the computer to get it to
see all the hard drives.

Subject: [H] Ideas - new server case?
So, I have this server contained in a 'getting old' Chenbro 4U case.
And, I'd like to freshen it up with a new case, if possible.
I really do like the RAID cage, the internal air space, and, do not wish to
give it up;
well, unless you can convince me that it is not really needed!
What do you think?
The server is w2k server, Intel STL2 m/b, 2x p3-1G and 2x 256MB RAM.
(already searching for another pair of 256MB ram dimms.)
Thanks,
Duncan
