1) Size-is it both large enough to hold all the innards that I'm looking for...I'm thinking at least two 500 G Hard Drives in a RAID 1 configuration, or (more likely) four 250 G HD in a 0/1 configuration (ahem...just in case you need the primer) AND is it small enough to fit in my cramped NYC apartment without infuriating my lovely missuz?
B) Price-I'm a cheap bastard, but I do realize that the whole "you get what you pay for" thing is often true. I don't need to cheap out and get a $20 case that's hideous and annoying to put together, etc... Also, I don't need to go and get a solid-aluminum-hand-milled-by-Belgian-monks mucho expensivo monstrosity either (well, if you could actually buy that case I might think about it), so I'm mostly looking for something around the $100 range, I guess.
All that being said, I spent a little time in the past few weeks (well, probably months) looking at cases, and I came up with this one...
Well, it's actually less expensive than I was shooting for (cheap bastard), it seems to have plenty of space (for 4 hard drives...we'll have to see if I worry much about expandability), and I like the look (I'm very tired of both the "big metal box" and "purple lucite thing with a dragon engraved on it" schools of design), so I'll probably be keeping this pretty high in my thoughts.
