A half tower or something along those lines. They have plenty of drive drive bays and usually a 200 watt power supply. All you need to supply is the cabling for SCSI, there are usually 4 of the standard power cables. These case work great and give the option of expandability. -- /* -The opinions expressed are my own, not my employers. */ /* For I can only express my own opinions. */ /* */ /* Kent L.
