fd define xl? logisys cs4803?

if cheap is important

nzxt 210(30$) + a 3x5.25 bay to 4x3.5 converter(20$?) for 12 hdd capacity.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

Let me add some more info. I don't care about looks, just something to hold all my stuff.

I want it to be as cheap as possible, is this any good? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353006

6 drive bays is fine for now as i only have 3 drives at the moment.

Also, what are some good RAID cards on the cheap? 
(for around 5 drives so i have room to add more drives)

i d drop, that diypc case and,like i said before, get as nzxt switch 210 for 30$, way more cooling and you don t want hot hdds, that case can hold 8hdd stock and got 3 5.25 bays where you could put 4 hdds later.

i don t know anything about raid cards, you might have some luck on ebay for these...

Why not get a rackmount one if you can. They are designed for this kind of thing. It will also mean if you expand your server amounts/networking equipment in the future the rack will be there and all the equipment will be in one place.
