My issues are that I live in an apartment, so size, heat, and noise are large considerations, and that I want hotswap drive bays. What chassis did you get for £45? Does it use an ATX PSU or something else? What are the drive temps? Always under 30°C? 35°C? 40°C?

Got the price wrong it was £50, and 15 drive bays, I populate every other one. Temps are about 25 at the moment, but it is sat in the garage, which is always cooler than the house. I think I just run it with the 120mm fans (and CPU and PSU) but quieter ones as the ones that came with it sounded like an aircraft taking off.

That’s a great case! Seems they don’t have a US reseller, so I doubt I’ll find any on my side of the Atlantic. Glad you got a gem!
