I will say that they are nice cases. However, the whole drive cabling issue is a problem. The IDE cables have to be long to reach all the way over by the drive cage.

It would be nice if somebody made a standard plug and play drive cartridge (like the Digital Storageworks RAID cabinets) for normal PC's or rackmount PC's that wasn't proprietary.
