Hi everyone
I am running a pretty frankensteined old virtual tape library enclosure at the moment and would like to clean up my act a bit. I think this used to be a Reo disk library.
I have an EEATX board in there and I'm using a corsair 1000W PSU to keep the noise down. Currently, I've just cut a hole into the lid through which the cables go. Sooner or later I'd like to move everything into a rack.
So my question is this: Does anybody know of a dirt cheap 24 3.5" bay chassis that takes EEATX boards while still allowing for a normal ATX PSU? Rack rails should be a thing too. I would like to cool this beast relatively quietly... It's placed in the attic so it doesn't have to be silent but still... I'm thinking 120mm fans from BeQuiet, and not datacenter grade 60mm wind turbines, you know? I seem to remember that there is a SAS HBA and breakout boards in the machine now. I expect this would be relevant.
Did I mention dirt cheap? I'd like to remain under 300 bucks if at all possible. I'm in Europe so I don't know about availability used. I am capable and willing to perform modifications.
Any ideas that might help?
