I have one of these: http://www.gtek.se/index.php?mode=item&id=2454 That 2798 SEK price is about $450, and you can fit up to 30 3.5" drives in the exteme case. This is true even when using the Supermicro SATA hotswap bays that fit 5 drives in 3x5.25". You can fit 6 of these total, meaning 30 drives. Of course the cost of these bays are added (~ $60-$70 I believe for the 5-bay supermicro; the Lian Li stuff is cheaper, but not hotswap and such). -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org
