zzang Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Hello. I have a question about non-server cases that sells in USA. 1. Which non-server case/s have/has highest number of drive bays? 2. Which non-server case/s have/has highest number in W/H/D? I need to know these cause I'm building computers for the people that I know of, who needs non-server case/s have/has highest number of drive bays and measurement of W/H/D form. Quote
Match Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Well, 7 I would say as for W/H/D that depends on Make but........ I always Build round the Motherboard, what's the point in worrying over drive bays if the motherboard can only support 3 or 4 Drives? Other things to consider the smaller the system the more problems you get with Heat dissipation, so unless there is a very good reason, I avoid Micro, and Mini ATX systems, as this affects what PSU, and GPU you can Use, and As I have said to many if available space and size of PC is such a problem go buy a Laptop. also I have found that in some cases they may have 7 available drive bays but after fitting RAM, and GPU you can still only use 3 or 4 of the Available Bays.

Well, I'm going to build him the motherboard that has 10 SATA2 Connector. So, what you concern won't much matter. I think. And the person that I'm building PC, he needs server like PC spec. Like the best spec that is available to build. He needs at least 7 HDDs, which he needs to have the case that can support as much drive bays he can able to. But thanks for reply. And well, it doesn't matter now. I have picked out the cases for him just earlier. Edited April 3, 2010 by zzang Quote
