I've come to the realization that jamming tons of HDs into a computer is not the best idea after all. When I was first building
pcs I thought it was cool, you know, like a competition to see how much space your computer could have. As my hard drives get older and
slowly die, however, I thought it would probably be best to run them as little as possible and keep them cooler in attempt to extend what
ever amount of life they have left. It turns out that I didn't use all these drives that often anyways so I had this idea that I'd just move
them all into external enclosures, then I could leave them off and only turn them on when needed. And so this rack was created.

Honestly it was the Kingwin Model: SS-350S-BK, but I don't think they make them anymore. The Thermaltake A2395 is pretty good. If you're looking to get one with a HD already inside, go with the Western Digital My Book, Khine and I both have one, their nice because they spin down on their own when not in use.
