I am planning my next machine.

I am looking for a good plain case nothing fancy. (I will buy a separate power supply)

But one that is quick and easy to open and easy to insert and remove hard drives.

So many of them do not have much room when you are taking out a hard drive that it knocks the parts on the mother board.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

1215589 2011-07-08 12:21:00 I have an Antec 300 case. It is nice, lots of room & not over the top like so many large cases are Greven (91)

1215591 2011-07-09 00:28:00 my coolermaster gladiator case has the harddrive slots on screwless rails, stuck in horizontally so you can just pull the drives in and out of the side. Quite nifty, really. They're also in front of a fan (the front intake) so they get cooled n stuff too.

1215594 2011-07-09 01:37:00 I have a HAF and it has drive runners that slide out of the bay attach to the hard drive and slide back in, no tools no fuss and plenty of room. DeSade (984)
1215595 2011-07-09 01:48:00 I use a huntkey case here. Its not too bad. Plenty of room between the cards and the front of the case. Screwless. I bought it because its got front E-sata, not because I've got heaps of hdd's (I'm only using 1 hdd) Speedy Gonzales (78)
