In store pickup only... >.<

I know you can mod the Corsair case to fit it. 700D at $200 sounds like a deal.
 
FT01 I pm'd you about a few weeks back is down to like $75 now. :eek:
still 3 in stock at Brentwood too. :eek:

I just don't know. I hate to have to resort to mods either way but I'd rather not spend $400 on a 2120A.
Sounds like the A77 might be a good cheap bet....krazynutz posted some pics of his SR-2/A77 build with info on what he had to do to get it to fit, doesn't sound too bad. Obvious (usual) issue of not having all the PCIe slots but what else is new. ;)

ooh nice find. As I said in my PMs do you, I need lots of drive bays, and it looks like there are nine 3.25" bays available and some 5.25" bays open too.

For $150 too. I'm gonna have to go check it out asap.
 
Definitely post if you pick one up, I may snag #2 if it's still there by the time the tax refund gets here. :)

Can I just say that I love love love my Lian Li PC-V2120B. Yes it's expensive but you absolutely get your money's worth. (I can't really say the same for Mountain Mods, but those cases are more about customization.) I'm adding some more fans to the 2120 soon, so maybe I'll post some pics to show how wonderful it is. :D
 
I used a Lian Li PC-P80B case with mine.
You just need to drill one extra hole in the mobo tray to fit a SR-2.

Luck ......... :D

I don't see how that supermicro server case could work. It only has 8 PCI slots and it looks like there is no room under the slots at all.

I have kids bro. And eight hard drives. I need a case!

I hear ya. That is why my machine with all the HDDs is still in a case. Plus laziness over decanting and finding a hard drive cage.

But the upturned laundry wire baskets are working a charm on the other two to keep things semi protected. (The big caveat is only one small well behaved girl at this point!)
 
I have a few of those too. Thanks for the offer.

I have two well behaved little ones, yet it seems curious hands seem to cause trouble, intentionally or not.
 
My biggest gripe re: open bench is dust and hair. (specifically of the kitty variety) :)
I have to air can my TS's and other things probably 1x a week before they get more nasty than they already are. Really getting on my nerves. :eek:
5 cats + 1 dog....pretty easy to figure out on the pet dander front. ;)
