Being a big fan of trying to keep drives at room temperature while sticking as many as I can in a colo machine that has to be small, I'd love to see a picture of the box you described below. For a long time we shopped for "the ultimate PC enclosure" and it was always give and take. Room for drives, horrid airflow. Great airflow, room for two drives. Grrr. Anyone else here need to stuff lots of machines in a small space? What case do you use? How do you keep things cool? Our new build is most likely going to be a CalPC minitower, and I need to cram four drives and a CMD RAID controller in there, which takes one of the 5 1/4 slots up front. The case is nice, it has vents available for the front mount drives, the whole side of the case comes off easily, and you can slide the whole mobo cage out the back. What I really need now is a small "drive cage" to mount on the bottom for a few more drives... Thanks, Charles > > Makes great flow from the front to the back, and really sucks air past the > drives.
