HDD server case recommendations
Looking for a case that can work with many (6+) harddrives easily. It doesn't need to be too quiet. The cheaper and larger the better. Ideas?

Chenbro has several nice selections. Not horribly expensive, and mine (an SR107), is fairly quiet in terms of the case, as well. Mind you, the pc power and cooling psu is a bit taxing on the ears, but I don't have the money to spare to just replace it, vs other things that need money spent on them.
Anyways, you might check them out, they have nice range of cases. Newegg sometimes carries (where I picked up mine, check 'server' cases in particular)

I have the Chenbro SR209. which is the shorter version of the 107.
I have a Corsair HX620 in mine....Though in the SR107, I do not think there is an opening for intake if your PSU has a fan on its belly (or bottom). You may want to check this.
Chenbros are great cases. Build quality is excellent and has cooling/silencing potential.
The HD cages are very, very easy to remove also. Take front off (shich snaps out through retention clips and unscrew thumbscrews of the cage).
The thumbscres are actually better than snap-on cages I've seen in other cases as the screws do a bettter job of securing the cage to the heavy case.
Oh yeah....2x 92mm slots in the front and 1x 120mm for exhaust.

To answer the question, it fits atx psu's just fine. As far as I know, that's the default config.. the redundant psu pictured on the site, is optional, if I understand correctly.
Anyways mine came from the egg fitted for an atx, which I filled with a pc power and cooling turbocool 510 sli... regrettably louder than I'd hoped for, but at least it doesnt shriek or anything.
