History of this Item
This case was used briefly as part of a server system. The
combination of being able to accommodate an ATX motherboard and have
eight 5.25 drive bays, in addition to the 3.5 bay made it ideal for
a server system with removable RAID devices. We purchased a
number of these cases and recently removed a redundant server from
service. The case is in excellent condition with all of the
original brackets, blanks, and screws. Originally
purchased for
about $375.00
Features & Specifications
This rackmount computer case was originally purchased a few years ago
from AT-Lan-Tec, which still offers this case for sale which you can
see by selecting this link: AT-Lan-Tec
The case is in excellent condition with all of the original parts
including drive bay blanks, case top, board retention bracket,
key and
hardware. There is a minor scratch along the side of the case
where slide rails mount (slide rails available for additional cost).
Features:
This case has some unique features, which is why we selected it in the
first place:
- Drives mount Horizontal instead of Vertical
- Many removable drives have indicators that are more easily read
horizontally
- CD/DVDs are easier to load and unload when the drives are
horizontal
- Deep Case
- Allows for Eight External 5.25" drives accessible from the front
- Allows for a full size motherboard
- Room for larger power-supply if desired
- Front Ventilated Door with lock and window
- Provides protection to unauthorized drive removal
- Provides a slick high-tech look with the drives hidden
- Darkened glass allows lights to glow thru - again, very sleek
cool effect
