It looks a lot like a YY-server cube. I have one... If it is a YY it's pretty expensive but a very nice case. Thickest steel imaginable. :D

Looks like older IBM Brand Servers, get a cart because those things are heavy..

That's the case used for the Dell PowerEdge 4200

I have one sitting right next me. It was thrown out of my friends workplace. They were using it as a mail server for a good while.

It had a Dual CPU setup, 2 x PII MMX's (Slot1 types I think, sorry don't know for sure) and had quite a large PSU that you slid in the back into a board to power it. The 6 bays in the bottom right are for the HDD's. They were used for hotplugging the SCSI HDD's. The left side had 3x 120mm Fans mounted to it and another one above the PSU on the right side at the back.

The reason I took off their hands when they decided to throw it out was because it has a massive amount of space in the left side. It's pretty damn heavy but, perfect for setting up a water cooling loop IMO.

If you want i can get you some exact measurments of it.

Also the office guys nicknamed it betty :banana:

Yeah, I want one for a crazy watercooling setup.

Anyone know where to get one?

http://search.ebay.co.uk/poweredge-4200_W0QQfromZR40QQsojsZ1 Cheap one here, you will be getting the whole server. BTW don't use that PSU, not safe for anything but the hardware that comes with it. Also the door and the HDD drawers have locks on them so ask the seller if they still have the keys. I doubt you'd be wanting to have to drill or pick the locks lol
