Hello there.

So I'm upgrading my server(sits next to my tv doubling as an htpc).

I'm after a case that has at least 8x 3.5" bays but preferably 1 or 2 more. Trying to avoid converting 5.25" to 3.5".

Ive been looking at the Fractal R4 as i've heard they are well built but am wandering if there are any others people can recommend.
Also trying to avoid full tower cases.

so.......ideas/recommendations ?



Cheers

I got a Silverstone for a HTPC.

Those things are like a Tardis. So much room on the inside for hard drives. And nice looking on the outside.

the R4 looks like a very nice case, tempted to rebuild my HTPC
