Anybody know where I can find a case like this...

[Angry]

Im going to attach a pic of a case that I would love to have, but thing is that its in a pic for a case window. HERE (http://www.cyberguys.com/cgi-bin/sgin0101.exe?UID=2002010810402363&GEN6=00&GEN9=5CG01&FNM=12&T1=161+0685&UREQA=1&UREQB=2&UREQC=3&UREQD=4) it says that its a server tower, But what does that mean exactly? Does that mean Full-Tower size cases? I would like to find a case as tall as shown in the pic. Im looking at casedepot.com but not haveing much luck finding a "Server Tower"...

Any help is gladly apprecated (spelling?).

The case in question is an Inwin Model Q500, being the owner of two of them currently I would say they are some truly awesome cases. It has 5 - 5.25" External and 1 - 3.5" External, internal if I remember correctly it has been a while since I opened mine, it has 6 - 5" Bays. You can find them here;

For 86$ I have worked with this vendor on many occasions and have yet to be dis-satisfied with any products I have gotten from them. Or you can do a manufacturer search on pricewatch, but I think 86$ will prolly be pretty close to the cheapest, I found them on EMS Computing as well here;

http://specs.emscomputing.com/cgi-b.../specs.asp?pid="135728"&sid="3c3b47120602f7822741d8b0e20c0649"&price="$98.00

But they are charging 98$ for them, well hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

Whoa, Thankz man.

I found a similar case but was $160, to much green for my blood.
(for a case anyway)Plus, since its at a good price and I will be getting into some money soon, I will go ahead and buy more than 1 of these.

You have just made me a future proud owner of that case.
Thanks again, didnt think I was actualy going to find that specfic case.

As in Tribes 2, "WooHoo!"
Edit
Was wondering,How tall is the case, couldnt get to that last page..
Edit again
Nevermind got it,

I figured why get a case "like" it when you can buy the real thing? Owning two of those I can say you will not be disappointed, the ones I have both have a Powerman 300Watt and it also has that pesky P4 Additional power connector. I can say I am not disappointed in them whatsoever they have fulfilled all of my needs.

Glad to be of help

Hey, SpeeDj. Do your Q500's have a HDD cage at the top of the case, towards the rear? Two of my brother's and one of my friends have those cases, but not HDD cage up top. I'm trying to figure out if it ever was an option for that case. I got an Aopen HT-08, just for that reason.

Another case that looks very similar to that is the Super Micro 760C P4 that I have. The one difference I can see is the exhaust fans are 92mm on top and 120 mm on bottom on the Super. This case is also around $160. Steve

No there is no spare HD cage up top, that is why typically alot of guys get the radiator cube and mount it where the fan mount is for easier water cooling integration, keep in mind this case does already have 6 3.5 Drive bays internally, that is more than enough for most, in my estimation even if you were to do dual stripes with mirroring and a spare drive that's only 5 why would you honestly need more ?

Anyone know of a full tower case that is under 58cm (23 in)? I'm looking for one to stick water cooling in that will still fit in my computer desk.

According to the specs on the inwin they say it's only over by 5/8" You could prolly shave that off by taking the feet off. Just my thoughts on that, or I think the Antec full towers are a bit shorter. Maybe start doing some research oin their websites ? Or I will see what I can find perhaps.

I found a possible one a while back off of, I think, www.chenbro.com.tw or something. I sent em an email a while back but got no response. They have a US number I'm going to try tomorrow. I would know the exact URL, but this stupid roadrunner cable modem I had installed yesterday seems to suck severely and I can't check my mail right now (11pm)

Yeah, I've got a couple of those too... One with the plastic front that I am painting black, and another that's got an aluminum front and came painted silver. Nice cases, very solid, very roomy, very heavy... :D
Peace
