[plug] OT server hardware

Good Morning All, 

I was wanting to have a talk to anyone who has had experience with the INWin2000 server cases or Aopen H800 series. 

I have had a look at both websites (aopen seems to be a bit better on specs than the inwin site), however its still not the same as actually having a case in front of you with all the bits installed. 

The main reason I am looking at these cases is that both support dual power supplies.
The case needs to be able to take a standard atx PIV board (we're not building _real_ servers here ;), either IDE RAID 1 setup or scsi raid 5 setup (3 scsi drives in 5 drive hotswap bay), cdrom, zip or tape drive,  floppy drive. 

Are there any other cases I should look at, can anyone recommend a distributor for any of these cases (or any others?) 

Are there any gotcha's I should be aware of. 

Thanks in Advance

Regards, 

Adam Davin
