General Technics is pleased to introduce the J3150 and J3650 - the first ever rackmount BTX chassis! The advanced cooling features of the new BTX form factor combined with a nearly "silent" power supply make this new chassis ideal for home media and video serving. With three exposed bays (one 3.5" and two 5.25") and five (yes, five!) internal hard drive bays, the range of applications expands with unprecedented storage capacity in a chassis this small. It's all housed in a 3U high chassis only 16.00 inches deep! Now you can take advantage of the thermal-acoustic benefits of BTX in a rack mount environment. It's another "industry first," available exclusively at General Technics.

• The BTX Form Factor ensures efficient system cooling by requiring that fresh air is ducted immediately over the processor, and afterward past memory, video cards, and hard drives.
• The "Thermal Module" (supplied with the CPU) splits the incoming air into three balanced paths, attacking the primary heat sources: through the heat sink, below the heat sink and over the system board components, and beneath the system board.
• Sealed Air Ducts incorporated into the chassis prevent warm, used air from recirculating.

• With support for the new Pentium D Dual Core Processors the Intel® D945 chipset allows you to run power-hungry applications at lightning speed.
• Five Hard Drive Bays provide an unprecidented storage capacity.
• Five removable Customizable Panels and two Front panel USB 2.0 ports make future expansion and custom I/O solutions a snap. For example, most bay-mounted add-ons (like LCD control panels, and USB or LAN hubs) can be custom mounted to the large front panel.

• Maximized Vent Area greatly reduces the airflow impedence. This eases the demand on fans, and eliminates unwanted noise.
• Whisper Quiet Seasonic power supplies are now available which runs at a low 22db! Its enormous 12cm fan can pull in more air at slower speeds. It's a great choice when silence is required.

• At Only 16" Deep it will fit in most short-depth rack towers, including portable cases for rackmount equipment.
• Its Narrow 16.8" width allows RK500 rail slides to be used, for easy installation and removal.
• With Removable Rack Handles and adhesive vibration-dampening feet, it sits well with other home media equipment, and is at home in a desktop environment too!

Micro BTX System Boards

Cool, quiet operation, superior performance and industry-leading reliability make these SATA drives ideal for desktop, business, and consumer electronics storage. Cool operation results in the highest reliability, even in intensely hot environments such as digital video recorders. That's why these, the coolest on the market, are the drives of choice for the world's leading consumer electronics and PC manufacturers. The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called "very fast and nearly silent" is used throughout this family of drives. Western Digital's WhisperDrive™ technology minimizes noise to levels near the threshold of human hearing.
