Where did you find the HL 15 on their site? I went looking around and not only could I not find the HL15, I couldn't find any barebones cases. All of them seemed to have Xeons.

Definitely seems like a high end enclosure, and if you look at what buying a device with a backplane that can handle that many disks is they really aren't that far off of the competition. I would wait for a sale or something but with what you're paying for a much crappier rosewill case now it's not that bad.

2023-12-15 04:08:53 +0000 UTCI love the chassis, but I don't love the price. Even if the idea was the bring the case forward through many server iterations, $800 for a barebones is a bit rich for my blood, especially with companies like Sliger hitting way beneath that. Edit: I suppose the backplane does add some value.
