  1. [...] Origen AE S21T htp case is a case which can hold up to 10 hard disks. This case also got a lcd touch screen. If you put 6×500GB hard disks inside, you will have a 3TB media storage server, pretty cool, right? But one thing I don’t like is the price is kind of expensive or you can say overprice. [...]
