I am still working on finalizing parts for my build. I had chosen the PC case, a very hugh Cooler Master RC 942 KKN1 .( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 42-KKN1%29)
It was chosen because it has on it: 6 external 5.25” drive bays, 5 internal 3.5” drive bays and 9 expansion slots. The front ports have USB 3.0 x 2, USB 2.0 x 2, Audio x 1, Mic x 1, e-Sata x 1, 1394a x 1. The case also has a Sata Dock.
Dimensions are 23”L x 9.1”W x 21.7”L. Weight: 31.6 pounds.
On second thought about this case, I am reluctant to buy it because of the size and had read some where just the electronics on it uses 150 watts!
I looked at many cases and could not find one with all of these features or even close.
Consequently, I would take it kindly if some of you would tell me the name of a case with the above features. It would not have to have a hot swap drive. I could buy one and plug it into the PC. 9 slots are not needed.
My concern is that the PC has another port to plug in my backup drive.
Lastly, would you, folks, recommend a Sandy Bridge motherboard with Z68 on it?
Thanks in advance.
