Has anyone on here used this case ? Am thinking of it to replace a Sugo SG03 for my home server setup. Quite pricey though but holds 4 3.5 + 1 2.5 drive.

had a looooong hard look at this. in the end decided it was silly money for a case.

yeah I thought that too.

I tried to justify it to myself as:
currently have Lian Li I am using, could sell for £40 + 2 * bay covers for £10
bought a Sugo SG03-B to replace it and could sell that for £50
have a Corsair 520w PSU in there I could sell for £50 so £120.
So by that logic only costs £50 !!

What did you go for in the end ?

went for a shuttle k45 with a celeron e1200, 2gb ram. already have some esata enclosures so i can get past the 2 drive limit pretty easily.

basically spent £115 on a "just add harddrives to taste" setup, which i think is rather good
