Anyone know if it supports drive spin-down on idle?

The case seems well built. The fan is not silent, but not too loud. Since you can turn the fan on or off with a switch, you don't need to keep it running. Taking the drive out is a little bit of a pain because you have to remove the top, bottom, back and sides. Pretty much everything to get to the drive. It's not hard... just not as simple as it could be.
I can't tell you if it spins down because my power adapter is at a different house right now and so I can't turn it on. Though probably not as good as the Antec MX-1, for $28 shipped it seems to be a good deal.
Thanks, OP. I've got 4 already but picked up another one with the code. Would've picked up more than one, but the code only discounts 1 item.
I like mine. eSATA works great and drives stay pretty cool with the metal case, fan, and good ventilation. I did a lot of research before buying my first ones, and I've been very pleased with them. My only complaint is it sounds like the fan is dying in one of them, but I'm sure I can find a cheap 80mm replacement fan to keep the case going.
Too bad Newegg get you on shipping. Why is this almost $9 s&h while the silver version is shipped free? Ridiculous.
