Just a quick question guys currently have a Lian Li V2110B (old case but still looks great), but looking to upgrade it to a rackmount case does anyone know of any good looking rackmount cases?
Prefer Aluminium also love hotswaps (currently use 10 harddrives but only need to have 4 if I have to have a minimum).
Also any quick responses will be great, bored at work waiting for a Import to occur, got 1hr to sit around doing bugger all.
3u or 4u
Not too bothered Santa either's fine just will need to hold 10 Harddrives so if 3U will do that great.
IN WIN have some nice looking rackmount cases:
To get hotswap you would need to get some 5 1/4 bay hotswaps and I would change the front panel USB 2.0 for 3.0, but that is just me(I bet something like this would work for that http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UB4GR8291&cm_re=usb_3.0_header-_-9SIA4UB4GR8291-_-Product). Also it is cheaper them most others and still looks good (to me anyway I like minimalism)

Sadly santa that case only supports one 4 bay hot swap so even at it's maximum I would only be able to fit 7 inside (and I have 10 already), mind you I'm presuming you meant 2.5 inch drives which isn't what I need (my mistake should of said 3.5 inch drives).
Cheers Michael didn't know InWin sold rackmount cases, have to admit they do look very nice.
I assumed 3.5, but I didn't look into 5 1/4 hotswap bays, looks like you may be able to fit this one in (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994155) and that would give 5 hotswap giving 8 "officially supported" but to me it looks like you could make your own HDD mounts and get atleast the last two in. I will keep an eye out though.
Thanks a lot, I wasn't even aware that inwin is making rack mount cases. Thanks!
