Where oh where am I going to put these 13 drives? Not a question that's asked
a lot, true enough, but if you NEED a large Server/Tower chassis, and NEED
Plenty of room, say for 13 drive as an example, The Aopen HX08 Tower is what you
need.
Buying a case that fits your needs usually isn't all that hard for the
average person. It usually comes down to choices between power/ease/price. It's
for this reason, that for average boxes I build I usually stick with two
particular cases (Casedge LX374T,
Enlight 7237) that are inexpensive, well built, and quick to assemble. For a
kickin' tower system, my favorite case now happens to be the
Antec
SX830 Tower, that we reviewed a month ago. It has decent cooling options,
and is roomy, stylish, has an excellent Antec PP303x power supply, and is a
quick case to build with.
But there are those few out there, especially people either setting up
servers, or perhaps needing massive amounts of room for water cooling gear,
extra drives, whatever, to where these Midtower sized cases just aren't big
enough. Enter the FULL TOWER CHASSIS.
Aopen has supplied us with one of their HX08 Tower chassis for review (kudos
to Sherry @ Aopen). Do you want room? How does a total of 13 drive bays sound?
Roomy enough for you? Read on!
