Started looking at replacement cases for my RAID server since I haven't been able to leave it on all the time due to cooling issues. I guess it's not such a good idea to jam 10 drives into a mini case. ;)

The Chenbro RM414 case hold 16 hot-swap IDE or SATA drives (replacable backplane) as well as 1 FDD, 1 CD, 1 HD, and 1 mini-CD bay. The RM519 (24 drive model) doesn't seem to be available retail in the US unfortunately.

I'd really like to get a rackmount cabinet to hold this and my other non-latop machines (web/mail server and Windows PC), but the cost is pretty steep for a cabinet. That didn't stop me from searching though...the TechRack Table Rack 12U is pretty damn sweet. It would also perfectly fit under my desk (with only a few inches to spare), in fact the 15U without legs might even fit flush. Unfortunately to the base price you need to add glass doors, maybe a shelf and power strip. Still damn cool if you want to waste money.

Really, though, rackmount is a little crazy. I should be building the minimal setup that meets my immediate needs, not the dream setup.
