[UK] Brand New 1U Server Case ATX including 250W PSU, CD-ROM & Floppy Drives £59!

suhailc · 15th September 2008

This is an absolute BARGAIN 1U server chassis including a 250W PSU and slimline floppy drive and can hold a standard ATX motherboard.

A 1U server case normally retails at around £75, a 250W PSU at around £50, a slimline CD-ROM drive for around £20 and a slimline floppy drive for maybe £10. So you'd normally be looking to pay around £150 for all this kit.

With this Ebay item you'll be getting all four(server chassis, PSU, CD-ROM & floppy drives) for a bargain price of just £59.00!

Also included is a 1U Riser Card, front handles, four popular serverboard I/O plates, a master/slave HDD cable, a floppy drive cable, and a 24pin to 20pin connector.

how much are the rack rails
and the cpu coolers for this ?

suhailc · 16th September 2008

Sorry no rack rails currently in stock, but these use generic rail kits which you can confirm when you look at it.

I have a number of CPU coolers/heatsinks available, both active and passive, so please confirm which ones you are after and I can confirm if they are in stock.

active 478 and 775

No offence, but you really don't want active coolers in a 1U case, you want passive - they tend to dry out their bearings very quickly and then melt them when they grind to a halt.

i thought about this passive
but i have only seen passive with a slide blowers

the £59 case using passive will that be ok ?

You don't want side-to-side (Acme) cooling - you want powerful front-to-back.

While that case has front-to-back cooling, they aren't central to the case and don't look very powerful (not to mention the fact that the HDDs in front of them are going to block most of their output). If you're looking for a generic 1u chassis then I would recommend the X-Case RM140 at £165 - 4 hotswap SATA drive bays, 400 watt PSU, 5x 10k RPM fans, full ball-bearing sliding rail kit and SKT775 cooler - you can't get much better value for money than that.

I've used a few of these Enlight cases in the past to house some 45nm Core2Duo's which are kept fairly cool with a decent active cooler (passive is a no go unfortunately).

The cases are very good quality and usually retail for a lot more so are a bargain at this price however be aware that if you are intending to build a cheap and cheerful system using a mATX board, your likely to come unstuck as these chassis do not accommodate audio stacks very well at all as they are designed for servers boards!
