Simple open-air storage case

[Spotswood]

You guys might find this interesting. Here's a couple of open-air storage "cases".

For 12x HDs (below) and two rigs (up top):

And another for 10x drives and 2x PSUs:

Thanks for looking.

Nice. Please post more pics once it's loaded.

And another, but this time for 24x drives.

I can see why you are a rich custom case builder. It looks expensive.

What are you using for the frame, pics aren't very clear?

Rich as in $$$?. Hah! Nope.

Custom work is, well....custom, so you can't expect Walmart-like pricing. That rig was $185.

What are you using for the frame, pics aren't very clear?

The material is called slotted aluminum extrusion (anodized).

It looks like 8020 stuff, is that what you used?

It's crazy expensive, but you can find some good deals through eBay on it.

Hey Spotswood, I would like to see you actually build a system with that, hard drives and all and post pics, if it works out, I may want to do something similar.

I'll ask the client for some pics.

My question is how hard is it to keep clean? As in keep the dust out?

I hope you don't live in a dusty environment. I have to swiffer my house twice a week just to keep the dust bunnies from transferring off my feet onto the ottoman.

My question is how hard is it to keep clean? As in keep the dust out?

It's not hard at all because you don't.

Probably, the only things collecting appreciable dust on that rig are the components with fans.

My open-air SFF has no more dust on it than what's on the rest of my desk.

So then the next obvious question is where can we buy cases like this?
