Looking for non-hotswappable 5x3 backplates

[Pembar]

Heya guys,

I've been looking for something similiar to

but I don't need them hotswappable. I know it's "nice" to have the option of hotswapping them, but I was hoping for something of a cheaper range (maybe 20-30).

Thanks much.

Regards,
Pembar

Only thing really in that price range. It only does 4-in-3 though.

Pembar, check my thread from awhile ago, was also looking for 5in3 non-swap bays.. I went with chenbro, really quality bays with space for 120mm fan in front so the disks stays very cool + they were arround 20€ here in eu

Heya Jonta,

Thanks for the reply. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I'm on the same side of the Atlantic Ocean as you, could you share which 1 out of the 15 you managed to get them from eventually?

Regards,

You will have a tough (read: impossible) time finding a decent 5 in 3 unit that isn't hotswap (or for that matter is) under 30 bucks.

Even the fixed configuration 5 in 3's with decent cooling runs you about 50 per unit.

The hot swap is basically a perk, I would go the hot swap route and call it a day, to find anything as you are describing for that price is going to be next to impossible... unless if a store has a sale or something of that nature.

California PC has 5 in 3 cages with 120mm cooling, non-hotswap, for $25 per unit shipped. Call them up and ask.

You are talking about the old price, it's 45-50 now. They jacked the prices recently
