    Anyone know of a very similar case to the Lian Li PC-343B? I want one like that, but without the $350 USD price tag. Any help is appreciated! thanks!

    Not unless you want to fuse a couple of standard cases together yourself (or make one from scratch), I don't think so.

    Reference, for those who have to look it up: [link]

    Well, any thoughts for fusing two together? I want something like the Lian Li PC-343B cause its easy to use and its not as expensive as a server rack... Thoughts?

    Is a server rack what you're actually looking for? Because I'm getting the idea that more needs to be said about this potential project if you're looking for the best advice...

    What the case will be used for is to house my Home server (Samba, print, streaming media, etc) and its multiple hdds. Therefore i need something big enough to house it, like the case this thread is based off of... I was looking at a 4U case and a 20U rack, or just DIY'ing a rack, but im lazy :p

    link plz?

    any thoughts?

    Google?

    How many drives are you actually talking about? Surely a tall case, armed with a few of those 4-in-3 bay jobbies would work perfectly well?

    I could fit 18 hard drives into my big tower chieftec case without moving beyond proper drive racks... I'm sure you can find something.
