I am looking for a case with 11-12 5 1/4in bays. Primarily so I can shoehorn some Icy Dock 5 in 3 drive backplanes. The problem is most of the cases have them tabs that divide each bay in which the modules are not compatible with.
I am not after something terribly expensive as it will just be used as my server.
I have come across the sharkoon rebel 12 which fits the purpose but has the tabs which I am thinking of just bending out of the way. A pain in the ass job which I had to endure with my current case.
I also saw the Asaka Infinty case which seems to not have the tabs but I lose a drive bay for the case switches and ports. I would prefer to have as much free usable 5 1/4" drive bays on hand.
Can anybody recommend me a case that may fit the purpose without too much modification?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
