Converting Antec 1200 to a rack mountable

Clayto · January 12

Hello folks, first post. Been researching for years but haven't found a good fit. Maybe someone here has already paved the way. I am running unraid OS. Plex and many other dockers. Sometimes a vm or two.

I have an Antec 1200 case "full tower". I removed the 3 drive cages and put hot swaps in its place. Plus the last 3 5.25 bays I put a single 6 ssd hot swap tray leaving 2 bays free. In total that is 18 HDDs. Not all slots are filled for either 5.25(9) or SSDs(5) slots. I have a p2000 video card and two jbod cards. With all this in mind, is there a rack mountable case someone could recommend? I am not against a main server case and some kind of rack mount disk shelf. Just not sure where to start with that. Again, would greatly appreciate some guidance. My long term IT shelf needs to be updated. Both network, smart home, media, cctv, my space needs to be organized and a rack is likely the best.
