Nice! I like that case and it's a great price for that many bays.

Here's my order from 12/08:
P5QL P43 775 ATX Motherboard $99.99
(Open Box) IntelĀ® Boxed Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 $143.96
RPC-450 4U Black Rackmount Case $99.99
Radeon X1550 512MB HyperMemory PCIe Low Profile Graphics Card $29.99

I threw 16GB of RAM in it, filled it with 500GB 7200rpm SATA drives, a
3Ware
9500S-8, and run all of my transcoding, encoding, VM's off of it. I know
the parts can be had for much cheaper now too.

At $300+ for that? Lol, external multi-bay cases are way overpriced vs
standard pc cases that have more bays! Top it off it's not even native
raid
but rather 2x port multipliers to a raid card in a PC.

My thermaltake case for my workstation is 12 bays 5.25" and was cheaper
than
this external with the advantage that host pc also fits in. Add 4 of the
3->
5 drive bay adapters it could hold 20 drives if you wanted but that gets
expensive fast @ $100/ea.
