> One suggestion for a 'medium sized' case, that meets the requirements, and > is very well made, is the 'Chieftec DA01 BWD' design. > I only came across these recently, taking one on the advice of a friend, > and was pleasantly suprised. These are available from a couple of > suppliers in the UK. All edges are rolled. The 3.5" drive bays 'unclip' > (with a proper 'locking' lever, rather than just a 'sprung' clip), and the > 5.25" bays have rails. The 'standard' supply (depending on who you buy > from), is a 340W unit. The 'B' version is in a darker brown (rather than > the beige) colour. That version (they do others in different heights), has > 4*5.25 bays, and 2* 3.5" bays externally accessible, with a front 'door', > then another 4*3.5" bays internally. It has locations for two front fans > (one for the bottom three 3.5" drives), which just 'clip in', and some > suppliers will fit these for you. Then two more fans at the rear. Using > slow, and reasonably quiet fans, the whole unit is pleasantly quiet (the > solid construction helps). http://www.chieftec.com/products/dragon/dragon.htm i'm using the dx-01wd with 340w amd/intel p4 approved psu- cost is approx �85 inc
