I'm counting seven 5.25" devices in that, what have you got in there?

[Jen]

Ten full size bays and a single 3 1/2
Only 4 of those bays are exposed rest are behind the door that has a nice lock on it.

This case was originally 26 inchs deep now just 20 inchs. I used the stock momentary switch for the power button. And then found another one to make for the reset button

Size of case as follows
10 inchs wide
20 inchs deep
24 inchs tall


Current processor is in my signature
Epox 8K7A ddr board........at the time of picture it was a Abit KT7A with raid
Pc2400 DDR memory 256mb.......OCZ stuff
Radeon VIVO 64mb card
2940 u2w card
SBLive full with daughter card
Imation CDR 8/20 [Rebadged Plexy] scsi
Ultraplex 40x max cdrom scsi
Teac 32x cdrom scsi
Zip 100 scsi
Seagate Cheetah 18.2 10k

I did have 3 IDE hard drives in this system as well
Dual 60GB WD 5400 rpm hard drives
Single IBM 75 GXP 45 GB

The IDE hard drives are now in server computer.

Water cooling setup

350 gph Dan Mag Drive pump
Maze 2 spiral block with 1/2 inch barbs
Car heater core 5 5/8 wide x 12 inchs with dual 120's
Half inch water lines




I think that covers it

I saw 8 but assumed that the lack of depth to the device circled in the pic below meant that that drive bay had just a face plate with switches and LED's or maybe one of those drive face plates with the sound card output's for the front of the system. I didn't think there was an actual drive in that slot.

Your right as far as there not being anything in that bay at that time . My point was to state that I could put up to 10 items in this computer.

Since this picture has been taken I have added a Pioneer DVD Rom 10 x SCSI in that bay.

Also have replaced the 50 pin cable that I had made round to a factory round 8 connector cable.

Impressive! Jen, are you using a "stock" AT spade switch to turn an ATX mainboard on and off? TIA.

[Jen]

this case had the rocker style AT reset switchs...........i used them for power and reset

I rarely go anywhere where there is alot of people anymore. I will be working on a Oak Desktop Case next when I get some junk computer cases together..........



Azriel
I got a picture of the back section of the case but it is rather large and I havent a clue how to edit pictures. What I did on the back section was cut it out and replace it with 18 gauge sheetmetal. Then added the back port plate and cut for the powersupply and later on for the radiator.



just me

What can I say, except removing side panels 20+ times a day gets old after a while. It's been naked for about 2 weeks now, and I don't see myself putting it back in an enclosure anytime in the foreseeable future. I treat my other PCs with a little more respect, but they don't double as a thermal solution test bed as this one does . . . .

I hate mitsumi CD drives.

[cloasters]

I have a three year old Mitsumi 8x that still works perfectly. But NOT with Mitsumi's own driver. Mebbe I got lucky?
