So I have this current setup as a slave system and I need suggestions for cases with more than 10 3.5 hdd bays would like 15+
Fractal Design R3
6x 2tb Hitachi Sata drives in raid 5
4x 136gb Sas 10000rpm drives in raid 5
2x LSI 8708EM2
But I have run out of space on my 2tb raid, and want to expand, originally i got the smaller chassis as i thought i would be leaving it in someones care for a time, but that is no longer a need. Hoping to go to 12-16 2tb drives Would also like at least one 5.25 bay but not needed, and willing to do some minor mods.
I was trying to move all my drives into a S3016E External shelf and run that off a LSI 9260DE-8i, but it is not working for my configuration. and I don't want to fight with a disk shelf if something odd happens to to system itself.
TLDR; I need suggestions for a case that has more than 10+ hdds and will fit a mATX motherboard with three Full higth expansion slots. and under $100 preferably.
