[plug] OT server hardware

[Randal Adamson]

Hi Adam,

I thoroughly recommend Chenbro cases, especially for servers. They have
heaps of options for redundancy - power, sata back panes etc etc.

They're site is:

http://www.chenbro.com.tw

If you're interested in getting some - let me know.

Cheers,

Randal Adamson

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
