Hi
1. Case
I want to build a new system in which I am going to need to install 1x3.5" boot drive (Raptor probably) and a RAID system with 8x3.5" hard drives. Most of the cases I have looked at don't accept that many disks. Which case would you recommend? (not too noisy would be nice as well )
Except for Lian Li do you know of any manufacturer of internal racks that allow you to put 3 3.5" HD using 2 of the 5.25" bays? (or 4 3.5" HD in 3 5.25" bays as a matter of fact?).
2. PSU
I am going to put in 9 disk, one Highpoint raid controller and probably one GEforce 6600GT video card. Where can I find the power consumption for those kind of elementsin ordrer to determine which kind of PSU to buy? I remember having read articles explaining how to do the calculations but can't seem to find them now that I need them. :roll:
EDIT : oops ... forget about the power consumption question .. it was just at the top ofthe page
Thanks in advance for your help.
