Quick swap Hard Disk Drive bays have been around for a long time. The reason is becuase many companies can not afford to have their servers down for an extended period of time, so they clone the drive and put in a brand new working drive to keep the system up. It is a fact that many of us are not buisness owners, so what use would we have of this technology? If you happen to have tech savy friends, this is very easy to answer. You can all get the same hot swap bay and swap HDD’s to share the latest game update without downloading the same file multiple times. This can save a lot of time in the long run.

Home Theater PCs continue to gain popularity, particularly as more television networks are pushing their content over the web. They’re also a great platform for gaming, watching Blu-Ray movies, running a custom DVR, and centralizing media storage. For some of these tasks, a low-power Atom system might be sufficient, but for gaming and processing high definition content, most consumers will want a little more horsepower. That’s where a quality HTPC chassis can make a big difference. With room for full-size ATX components, seven hard drives, and five fans, the SilverStone LC10B-E that Benchmark Reviews is covering today should fit the bill.
CM a sister company to Coolermaster keeps releasing alot of products at the moment, we have reviewed their Sniper Case earlier which proved to be a really cool mid class case. This new Storm doesn´t look any worse than the Sniper, it actually got a couple of features that the Sniper was lacking, so let´s take a look.
This chassis will particularly appeal to users who demand massive storage capacity in their machines. With room for seven HDDs, the Element S can be easily outfitted into a storage monster. Hell, you can even add a couple of laptop hardies if you want.
In recently years SilverStone has ramped up its product line with a huge selection of cases to cater to any type of computer enthusiast. On paper the SG03 Sugo SFF Case is a step in the right direction from the original SG01 design.
How much data storage is enough to satisfy your enterprise needs? Thecus would like to assure you their N7700 SATA-drive NAS server has you covered. With seven hot-swappable drive bays assembled into a rugged stackable chassis, the N7700 aims to safely house large collections of data in basic-disk JBOD, RAID-0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 arrays using either the EXT3, XFS or ZFS drive format. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured for network load balancing, failover, or 802.3ad aggregation modes; and also adds up to 9000K MTU jumbo frame support to each. A single Intel Celeron M 440 processor powers the N7700 on a 533MHz FSB, using 1GB of single-channel DDR2 memory to process requests. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the bandwidth speed of the Thecus N7700 against several of the best Gigabit NAS servers available.
Since we noticed the silence when we started into the Phenom 2 reviews we were short a chassis and turned to Thermaltake for an alternative. We didn’t need another huge chassis sitting around and Thermaltake came up with the perfect chassis for our needs, the ElementS chassis with it’s sleek good looks and solid steel construction fit our bill. We’ve had the Element S for a while now (Our apologies Thermaltake) but we got 4 or 5 CPU;s in quick succession that kept us from our appointed task. Now that we have a little breathing room we’d like to introduce you to the Thermaltake ElementS Chassis.
The Silverstone SG04 is a rather unique product, and that is not an easy achievement in the computer case industry today. Effectively Silverstone has managed to shrink down a full size ATX case into a little MicroATX case, while still supporting the vast majority of high-end hardware. For example, users can still use standard ATX power supplies, high-end graphics cards, and top of the range processors in the SG04.
The CM Storm Scout is not as small as it might sound but it is much smaller than the CM Storm Sniper. The bold hard lines of the case accented with a flat black finish is just plain awesome. The Scout features a full mesh front for full air flow, and a black textured finish that is almost stealth like in appearance.
