Hi guys. I have a question. I need to get a case for my file server, since I just got my 4thHAD and the case I now have only supports 3. I really want to have an option of putting like 8 drives in there all EIDE (no SATA) and just use PCI IDE cards to add more ide ports. So any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive case that I can just put all these drives in? Thanks.

With four 4-in-3's you can get 16 drives into this baby. Plus it has slots for 2 Powersupplies and plenty of fan locations.

If you get the regular (non-windowed side) you got a spot for a fan there, one in front of each 4-in-3, one long squirrel cage in front of the mobo, one on the top of the case and two in the rear.

It's big. It's heavy. But it's the damn best non-rack server case I've ever used.

It has alot of fans to cool everything down..

so far Im leaning towards the stacker, but it is kinda pricey. Anything I can get a lil cheaper I mean I just need to stack drives in there...

Also jgoewert what are 4-in-3s? And where can I get them? lol.
