I'm just curious how many DIYrs use the norco's for their builds.

I had originally wanted to use a Lian Li pc-343B case, but when I started adding up the cost of the needed componnents then the Norco RPC-4220 literally screamed at me.
And the Chenbros though nice are also too expensive I would have been all over their 50 drive case if it were priced in a range of sanity.

I'm not using Norco, but http://www.xcase.co.uk/X-Case-RM-420-Hotswap-4u-p/case-rm420.htm instead. Norco's is almost impossible to get hold of here in Europe. I haven't got i yet, but it's coming next week.

I chose the Norco 4220 because of the 20 hot swap drive trays, easy cabling options and low cost.

I have a 4220 case that just came in and I'm starting my build. I went with the 4220 to cut down on cabling in the case over the SATA option.
