Mass storage cases

Here's a link to a system I built a while back:

Any hot swap server chassis will be loud, so I'd get one that uses large fans and swap them out for quieter ones.  The Norco RPC-4216 case I used takes three 120 mm fans behind the bays after you buy a $10 bracket.  I chose that particular case as I also wanted two Blu-ray drives for an all-in-one box.  I also sealed all the holes on the case and used electrical duct putty so 100% of the air flow would go past the hard drives.

Great info guys! Thanks etc. I ordered a Rosewill with a few hdd cages. I'll document the build on my blog. The norco was really nice but a bit much for my needs. It won't fit in my entertainment center so we will relocate to a void under the stairs immediately behind the wall of the old location. Frees up a slot in my media console and will mute any fan noise.
