hello everyone,

I have an old pc case that holds 9 drives, i want to connect this to my home server, if anyone could reccomend a psu, and a like sata to pci card convertor. This case has no motherboard.

You would have hook up the power switch to the psu.

Next, use something like this to hook up your HDD's.

Then on the PC end, have something like this.

but, you may as well just purchase a dedicated box.
