Can I build a PC in a 4U Server Case?

Tyler Durden · 25-06-2012, 1:46 PM

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I want to build a PC with 3 x 3TB hard drives, and a SSD Boot drive and install it into a Server Rack.

Can anyone recommend a case that I can use, and do I have to be aware of anything that isn't an issue in a normal case?

i thought about doing this at 1 point. I believe they are just normal cases internally.
There are a couple on ebuyer, eg:
Codegen 4U Rackmount Eco Black Interior | Ebuyer.com

They take mATX/ATX motherboards and standard ATX PSUs. They have loads of bays too.
