    I went for a eBay 4u server case, no hotswap bays or anything, just 13 or so 3.5" slots with a a row of 3x120mm fans behind them. Sits in the garage out of sight all for £45 delivered.

      My issues are that I live in an apartment, so size, heat, and noise are large considerations, and that I want hotswap drive bays. What chassis did you get for £45? Does it use an ATX PSU or something else? What are the drive temps? Always under 30°C? 35°C? 40°C?
