Looking for a server case.

[joshfrog]

Hi All

 

I trying to find a good quality server case to move my server into as my current case is needing an upgrade along with the hardware in it.

 

I have being looking at the Silverstone RM22-312 linked, I have seen some reviews that similar cases from other brands use cheaper metals and can bend easy or have other quality problems.

My biggest concern with the Silverstone case is the backplane around how long it would hold up and the quality of it.

 

If anyone has any good recommendations please let me know, keep in mind I'm not looking for links from Dell or HP I want to DIY my server.

The things I'm looking for,

Rack mountable, fit ATX or E-ATX can be bigger but not a non-standard like some Supermicro servers use, the Silverstone case I have linked is a 12 drive bay. 

12 or 16 bays would be good, I don't care as much about the power supply standard ATX would be good but in servers I no that's not super common. 

 

The biggest problem I face, I live in Australia so if its listed on a retail site or store in US or elsewhere it may be hard or impossible to get here,

but send it over I'm happy to try and find it or try and import it.

 

Thanks in advanced for you're recommendations.

that silverstone case looks pretty good and i wouldnt worry about the backplanes as they can be swapped one row at a time so worst case if one fails you have 4 drives out of order till a new on arrives.

Check out Innovisions cases, they do have rackmounts with different backplane options that include 12Gbps MiniHD (SFF8643): https://www.aliexpress.com/store/908909
