The majority of the bays are 5.25", what is someone going to do with 6 x 5.25" bays? I guess you could do 3.5" -> 5.25" adapters but that adds to cost and is a pain in the butt.

I unchecked PSU and fan options to see if the shipping cost goes any lower -
Subtotal: $16.00
Shipping: $13.46
Tax: $1.32
Total: $30.78
Cool! Do you know that this thing can fit E-ATX mobo?
I know because I have a 5 bay case with same front as this one. It's spacious!
Now I can put in Abit WI-2Pa dual Xeon in it once I get this.
Thanks OP!

Dang, you could put two motherboards in there. Hmmm....case mod idea brewing...also would be good for an internal massive watercooling system or phase change cooling. And with a bit of creative metalwork, you could probably get a dozen hard drives in there.

Dude, ever heard of zipties and you can get 'em for free in most places. A long time ago, I had an emachine and I ran out of bays for the an extra HDD I wanted to install, so I ziptied it under the 3.5" bay. Worked great! Some of my friends back in the day used wire, I even used pluming supplies all of which were creative solutions.

I had this case back ten years ago. Abit BP-6, dual Celeron 366's. It was a great case though with TONS of room. Not a bad deal for $30 shipped.

I prefer two mini bungee cords looped across the 5.25" bay. The HDD fits snugly and is vibration isolated.

You could probably fit two motherboards in there, 2 mATX that is

Reading through all these responses made me chuckle. I remember these full tower designs 10-20 years ago. I remember people running like a 486 in a case this big.

I think thats what alot of us are feeling of nostalgia. I personally had a desktop case and not really a tower...I liked my desktop case, something to elevate my monitor. I would so put a system for the garage or the basement in this, it would just fit in.

I still have a case very similar to this that I bought in 1999 or 2000. It only has 4 5.25" bays, but it's still big. I put a watercooling rig in it with the radiatior above the PSU and a 7" lcd in the front drive bays. You could probably put a double radiator in this monster.

Just got it less than a hour ago and this thing is TALL and spacious.
It has six 5.25" bays and three 3 1/2" bays.
Not bad for a $30 server case.
w00t!

I had an Inwin looking similar to this one too. Was a heavy sucker; had a nice removable mobo tray though.
Nice deal.

Here are some pictures of the case.
Note I uploaded the full 8MP images, so you can click on the images to see the different sizes. I also put a standard 3.5" Seagate 7200.9 HDD for size comparisons
I hope this helps.
End of the shipping box. Note the warning about power, when I ordered one without one :)

Top of the case inside box with packing materials. Note the peanuts, apparently they don't trust UPS (though it was a fedex truck that drove up) either.

Packing Minus Box, so you can see how they packed the case. They did a pretty damn good job in my opinion.
