Looking for a large case with 120 mm fans

[VBboy]

Hello, hello,

Would anyone like to help me find a full tower / server case with at least 2 120-mm fans?
I already considered the Lite-On FS-020 and Chenbros. Just want some more options.
Anything but a cube-type case.

(Ideally, 4 or more 5.25" bays, 2 or more 3.5" bays)

Thanks in advance!

I've got a Lian-Li PC-63A aluminum server case sitting around collecting dust...

2 x 5.25" external bays
2 x 3.5" external bays
8 x 3.5" internal bays
2 x 120mm fans (Adda, 2050RPM, 80.5CFM, 38.0dBa)
3 x 80mm fans (Adda, 2440RPM, 31.4CFM, 28.3dBa)

tritium4ever,

That case looks cool, but I really need more external 5.25" drive bays: DVD-ROM, CDRW, baybus + possibly Audigy...

Thanks for the info, though!

Addtronics Extra Series
Beautiful cases, not too abstructive intake (so many cases are) very sturdy thick! easy too work on. Check out coolcases.com jfh has the cases pre-modded does a great job you can set it up with a grip of 120mm fans.
I think they come with firewire, USB, mic and headphone ports upfront now. Also great thing about addtronics cases you can buy peices of the case off them, like if your modding F-up a part you can always buy that peice again, or if they like upgrade the case like they did with the USB/firewall upfront or say you wanna upgrade to a different form factor WTX you can just buy that peice and slap it on.

I second the Addtronics cases. Plenty of room for mod's

VBboy,

I noticed a really interesting case w/four (4) 5.25" bays that has a 120mm rear fan but only an 80mm front fan, but worth a close look,
it's at: KRI Computer
Check out the Black / Silver beauty too!

Also, there is the case of choice I am currently using for my personal system: 2 ea. 120mm fans .... ( one front, one rear ) but only three (3) 5.25" bays.
It's also at: ServerCases.com

I'll 2nd clumsum, I'm currently using the same YY case & it's decent (especially for the $$$). It doesn't have the 4 5.25's you need (only 3) but it's proably the smallest case w/ 2x120's. I use it with a fanbus (one of Clif's 1st - lol) & a voltage regulator (hidden behind the bezel)for the fans. I set the fans @ a speed where cooling is good & noise is low & leave it that way (set it an forget it). My 2nd choice would be a Genie Jr, very nice case - I had a Genie Sr. (from jfh) for a few years, it's a very nice case but it's also big. The Jr would offer the best of both worlds.

Not that it matters but I'd also add another nice feature of the YY101, The cover allows you to easily paint it & you won't have to worry about getting matching (or painting) drives.
