Sorry for the delay...



Its an old pic, with only 8 drives. With the watercooling installed, theres a dual 120 radiator where the two 120mm fans are at the front of the case. Theres enough space for a dual 80mm rad as well above the PSU.

Some people even mod the roof of the case and mount rads there.

Its an excellent case, although its far from perfect. A sliding motherboard tray wouldve been very helpful and a single 120mm fan for the 12 drives is abit iffy, as the back rack tends to get quite warm (50+degC drives, while front row 40ish.)

Why not buy a proper server?

DL380s are getting cheap, with ILO and plenty of redundancy.

bxg, I was looking at proper servers when I was thinking about just a nas drive... but now Im just re-building my own computer with a new case/watercooling etc..

plus.... the server cases I saw where mega bucks ! (tho didn;t look second hand i guess, which would have been fine for a nas drive)

anyway...

bits just started arriving... 6xHDs, m/b, and the case..... wow what a case !

even the wheels on it rock my world !
loads of fans too, places well too, one sucking fresh air through the case side and onto the CPU area, another at the back with a duct to blow over your gfx cards !

nice fans too.... hopeing to use them on my rads :)

going to stick 2 x 3 120mil fan rads in the top of the case blowing out the top with the fans sandwiched between them..... hopefully Ill only need the min. of airflow :) ..... tho I have jusr realised that there going to be at one side instead of the top.... to won;t look as good from above, but chould be ok :)

just thinking eariler too.... might need another pump ! maybe a small one for the HDs and a bigger one for the rest... will see what the pump ive ordered is like :)

On a couple of my previous PCs I have modded the case for a top fan, works great and even better if you can direct the output through a window or hole in the wall... ;)

got a plan !

instead of putting the cd drive at the top of the case, Ill move it down 3 or 4 slots, then slide the rad right forward and the front end can sit inside where the cd drive should be ! nice and central + its out of the way !

only problem is.... sutting the 3 x 120mil holes, and doint a nice job of it when the top of the case cant be removed :o

well my fans all just fell appart... fixed in the 2 rads with a bit of fiderling... only to find I cant fir the motherbord in !

its fine with one rad and the fans... the plan behind the 2 was, with the fans in the middle theyd be good and quiet

will have to have a re-think :(

maybe one rad at the top and one at the bottom... hmmmm
