Hey everyone,

I have a Linux box that I am looking to upgrade the case. It’s a Corsair Obsidian 750D, but I’m looking for a stack case....one that has 8-10 5.25” bays so I can throw a bunch of drives in, similar to these


It seems like those types of cases aren’t really manufactured anymore....at least from what I can find on the net. Does anyone have any suggestions to a case similar to those in the link? Would be great to have all my HDDs/SSDs hot swappable without spending $400-$600 on a server case.

I used a Cooler Master HAF X full tower to build my FreeNAS server. It has six 5.25" bays up front and two more inside for a total of eight bays.

Then I used this Kingwin 3.5" hot swap bays for all my HDD's.
