ITX Cube Cases with 3-4 Front Bays?

[Nobi125]

Does anyone still make a case like this?

This particular one doesn't seem to be sold anymore.

Planning on building a WHS/NAS box and can't find anything small with a 200w+ PSU.

EDIT: Planning on adding a 5 in 3 front loading drive cage. Will do some minor modding if needed.

I had quite a few of those small machines. ended up tossing 3 of them since it was nearly impossible to get replacement PSU's for them.

I ended up going with a Silverstone Sugo SG02 since it uses a standard size ATX PSU.

That is actually a really nice case, but a bit too big for what I'm going to be doing.

I'd like to have all the hard drives be front loading / hot swappable. The case I posted above will hold a 5 drive in 3 bay cage with a little modding to expand the bottom bay.

Will look like this:

They even show it decked out the way I'd like:

But it seems like no one sells the black version in this country.

EDIT: The silver one isn't sold here either...

I didn't realize you wanted front access drive bays.
Looks like Gigabyte has a 4 bay unit,

Yeah, I have my eye on that CFI in case I can't find something else. I'm not a fan of the way it looks. It's also priced at like $180.

I like this one, but a MOD would be required as the Fan is in front of the Drives

I actually like the way it looks, reminds me a little of my cube case but smaller.

+1 to the Lian Li PC-Q08. Lovely little case. Might be more difficult to mod for your purposes, but has the space to do it for sure.

Except that the Q08 only has one 5.25" bay.

 

[Flyinfinni]

Like I said- might be more difficult to mod properly, but its got the space as it can fit 6x3.5" drives. Open the front for a couple more, replace the 4-bay 3.5" cage with a 5.25" cage and you've got it.

Would a shallower version of this work (but with solid side panels)?

What MB and PSU form factor?

 

[Nobi125]

Hey guys, after a couple weeks of hunting, I was able to find everything I wanted. It was expensive, but I ended up not having to mod a thing.

Here are some pics (cell phone sorry):

Still need to redo some wiring inside. Lot of SATA cables to manage.

Also looking for something cool to put in the bottom bay.
