Description
I wanted an affordable DIY NAS case that fits 8 HDDs, no external GPUs or huge power supplies.I built this to fit an mATX board , as they're cheaper than microATX and give more space.
I managed to fit a SAS LSI card. A low profile CPU cooler is a must, so power hungry CPUs won't work for this build (I used a 35W TDP CPU).
Cable management is hard though, I saved space by trimming unnecessary power terminals only kept HDD SATA power ports.
My Setup:
Model is free for non-commercial use. V2 incoming, with some edits to make the assembly easier.
