My unRAID server has 12 data drives, 2 parity drives, and 3 SSD cache pools. Plus dual Xeons on a SuperMicro ATX board.

I currently have the Deep Silence 5 case by Nanoxia. But things are cramped. I’ve filled all the standard drive bays, plus put in a 4-bay 5.25 enclosure. But I still have one of the SSDs just floating around.

What would a better case to put all this stuff in?

    Did you have something else in mind?

        Ah yeah, that’s not bad. I do get that this is a fairly niche idea so paying extra was expected. $400 isn’t outside the realm of idea. Thanks! Its the big, $1k+ server case costs that was worrying me.

        I have a 12 drive setup in a define 7 (not xl) and it’s working fine. As long as I keep the filters decently clean from dust the temps are fine.
