8 drive disk cabinet/chassis for 3.5" drives
This design is something that I wish to build, but is currently only at a planning stage. The design is simple:
Two walls with drillouts for the fastening screw position of 8 pcs 3.5" drives positioned so that airflow is easily possible, open but controlled area behond the drives, that can/will be used for channeling of fan-driven air. Angeled ends/sides on the walls, where the angles facing towards the front / connector side has holes for passing power cables and fastening ties, and the angles facing towards top/bottom has mounting holes to attach the simple top and bottom plates.
The unit is drawn standalone so far; i.e. it has no fastening brackets, but such may be added easily to the top/bottom plates, or even on the front/back angels of the sidewalls.
