For one of them I used a modified CD duplicator case (9 5.25" bays) and the other one I used a nice
tall tower. All except 4 drives are in Supermicro hotswap bays. Aside from the Supermicro bays
(which do look nice and keep the drives very cool) these machines are chewing gum and duct tape jobs.

Having said that, they are chewing gum and duct tape jobs that have had a downtime of less than 4
hrs/year over the last 3 years.
