I did it the [H]ard way, and broke out the dremel. Now the drives fit![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My Coolermaster Praetorian has served me well for the past 6 months...the chassis design has served me for well over a year (Praetorian + 3 ATC-111s).
Unfortunately...my upgrade to a RAID 5 has proven the CoolerMaster to be too small., as I cannot mount the hdds in the floppy bay area as planned.
So, I need a new chassis.
It should be:
0. Black
1. Aluminum
2. Of similar size to the Praetorian.
3. Have front USB & firewire (if it doesn't, it's not an option. therefore the PC-61 is not an option.
4. Support 4 RAID hdds, and 4 non-RAID hdds
5. Support 2 CD-ROMS, and ideally have room for 2 more Vantec EZ-Swap SATAs (2 of the non-RAID hdds will go in the Ez-Swaps)
6. Be of the same quality as the Praetorian. I won't take anything less than a Lian Li.
It has to fit in this area:
Unfortunately, when I moved home to finish up college, I had to limit the space I used in my bedroom. I don't have room for the tower I'd like (Lian Li 2000)
