I usually pay $20 for a simple tin (or sheet steel?) case. I don't need anything that looks like a Klingon dashboard so I've never looked at the expensive boxes. They have other advantages. Holes for more fans, several hard disk trays, cushioned for reduced vibration (the vibration from one hard disk head has been known to transmit to a nearby hard disk causing it more read errors via positioning head errors because of the vibration at the proper frequency). Double sheet sides, also to reduce sound transmission. Filtered air intakes I have seen in ruggerized computer cases intended for industrial environments. Imagine a machine shop, where the dust can be metallic particles! Some of those boxes you can put on the floor and jump over them, safely. You pay the money, for the side-mount disk trays. That's the bit that makes it worthwhile. So easy to change drives. I'm not looking for fancy metal bits particularly. https://img.hexus.net/v2/cases/antec/sonata3/4.1.s.jpg I keep one optical drive in the front-load bays. And the rest is done with trays that face you. Paul |
