Is there any interest in a case with 13x 5.25-inch drive bays?

FWIW, I saw this posted on a thread in the Unraid forum.

How about a custom solution? PM me. -Rich

FWIW, I've built quite a few "trays" (framework of t-slot extrusions) sized to fit in a server rack. In fact, @Patrick is one of my clients. Good luck with your project! -Rich

I'm looking for a 10-inch server rack specification. Specifically, the rail center-to-center hole distance of the half(?)/10-inch server racks (used to house something like this SM SuperServer E300-9D-4CN8TP)?

Is there any interest in a stackable open-air frame for plotting rigs? -Rich

1.6mm/.06-inch thick sheeting. Countersink holes for M3 flathead bolts into 6mm female-female threaded spacers.

I made a shallow 4U frame for an ATX PSU, microATX motherboard and 2x hard drives. That is all.

Here's his double-wide brother. :eek:

Oh. The backplate and PSU mounting plate were fabricated for us by CaseLabs (in 2017).

I only used my CNC to accurately drill the standoffs and 5.25-inch mounting holes (many years ago, I had to layout and drill those holes by hand).

That frame was $245 plus $20 to ship (fit disassembled in a USPS Large Flat Rate box).

A client asked me to build a case frame to house a workstation motherboard (X9DR3-LN4F+ ) and 12x 5.25" drive bays. He plans on using all of the drive space for some hot swap cages. :cool:

The case can hold 12x 5.25-inch devices, which you can fill with whatever you want.

Hmmm...The first post got lots of views, but no likes. Maybe a quick/rough model will help stir some interest in this idea? The case is designed to hold 12x 5.25-inch drives. Here's an example of the case with 4x of the iStarUSA hot-swap cages (the purchaser is free to mount whatever devices...

Is there any interest in a case that can house 4x hot-swap cages (12x 5.25-inch drives), SFX/ATX PSU & mini-ITX motherboard similar in design to the Synology 12 bay NAS? What other features would be desired/required of such a case?

Yes, very similar, but with the GPUs rotated and mounted along the back, over the expansion slots.

Would you ever consider a case designed to be 8 or 9U tall, with the GPUs mounted over the motherboard slots (sort'a like some of the "old" GPU mining rigs, but a little more user friendly for the wider extender cables)?
