I’ve been self hosting a few services on a raspberry pi-based NAS and decided I was ready to up my game. I got on eBay and found myself a decent deal on an old Supermicro dual-cpu board with an EATX form factor. Now I need a case for it.
I could rack mount it, but I’d rather have it be a standalone. I also have several HDDs in a RAID for storage, and would love something that has room for those internally. I was going to get a Darkrock Classico Max, but figured out it won’t fit an EATX board without removing the HDD cages.
Do I’m wondering: anyone out there have a recommendation for a good EATX case with ample HDD space? Anyone else got a setup like this you are happy with?
The rosewill 4u cases are cheap and fit eatx. I put some noctuas in mine, and it works great.
This is what a buddy of mine has and I’m honestly jealous. Mainly just the amount of space and airflow it can have
I got so annoyed when work tossed a system with that case. It was supposed to be set aside, but someone missed the memo.
