I never finished the front bottom in a way I am happy with as its gonna hold 7 scsi hot swap bays but I wanted it easy to get them in and out.
This is where I keep fabricating something and changing it over and over. I used all the long pieces and have beenn using square channeled aluminum from Home Depot and painting it. I have had to make like the last 20 corner things you screw it together with also at this point.
Running a 600 watt PSU and a 550 also.. Was considering adding a clear plastic panel on the top with motherboard holders to use to setup and test new motherboards with as long as I had the other psu in their anyway. Its on roll around locking wheels and its made to perfectly fit inside the sliding rails on my 19" rack but be mobile enough to be grabbed out and rolled around. Its got a normal cd burner and a dvd-ram on the top along with a pair of 120gb Maxtor 8mb cache IDE drives. Its got a pair of scsi raid controllers. A 4channel u160 and a u320 two channel. Their is also a 21320 LSI u320 2 channel scsi in their right now. I started on this quest because the damn dual opteron motherboard is so big there was no room in any normal case to have internal hard drives and more then a single cdrom.
Oh well. Not finished but thats where I am at so far.
Mine isn't done either (forgot to note that earlier). I'm planning to add another drive cage from a dead Pentium machine and fill up the remaining space with hard drives.
