I've had this for over ten years. Even back then it was a monster. I
bought it with the intent of building my first PC but making it a
mega-doozy. I paid $85 for it and never used it.
It is odd in that the back of the motherboard is at the top of the box. A
lid on the top comes off exposing the cables and connectors, which are
drawn out the back of the case through a cable-way that the lid creates.
3-4 bays are exposed through the front. To expose the other 6-7 bays you
open the front door which exposes access to all the bays.
It has enough room inside for a full-sized motherboard and a big-assed
power supply, plus enough space left over to mount some hard drives.
It was made by Arche (?). It's all metal and is powder coated. It sits
about 32" high.
I also have a big tower case that is just an overgrown version of a
regular tower. It has 5 bays. I think I'll use that as my SCSI box.
There's a 6-bay tower in a pile at the ACCRC that I may claim. If I
don't, and someone wants it, it can be had for a nominal donation to the
ACCRC plus shipping.
