    Question External USB HDD cases with fans?

    Hi folks,

    Can anyone recommend one?

    My server is an Acer Revo 3600L and it's got a couple of USB drives attached. Currently I power them down when not in use but I'd rather have them in a case with a fan.

    Can anyone recommend any?

    Ta

    Paul.

    For a single drive case, there is the Antec MX-1.

    If you want a case that can fit both HDD, Lian Li do a few cases (EX-20 and EX-30 being the most appropriate for your needs) but they don't seem to be available in the UK atm.

    Thanks for the links, those Lian Li ones look like exactly what I've been after....guess I'll wait a bit and maybe ask Scan or someone if they'll get them in
