    I want to build my own WHS but I cannot find a good case for it. I am looking for a case similar in size to the HP Media Smart Server. I also want the case to have externally accessible drive slots.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

    This looks like an awsome case.  Where does the PSU go?  Does it come with one or do you have to purchase it seperately?

    Does anyone have this case, I would love to see a picture of a buildout with it, just to see how everything fits.  How big of a CPU cooler can you fit into the case?

    Roger, if you will read the manual (available from the site linked above) I think you'll find an answer for your question.

    Hi Roger,

    I believe Terry (MVP Mod, wegotserved.co.uk maintainer) is going to post a review of the case soon (tm).

    http://www.crystalfontz.com/forum/showthread.php?p=24453#post24453 is what I set up.  Might give you a few ideas.  The case and cage I both got at Newegg.  A real cheap case, but great quality.
