I think you are getting away from the OP topic, If he is looking for a storinator, he probably isn't looking for small or quiet. 😉

Yeah, there's no shortage of small homemade NAS solutions. Even a cast-off corporate desktop should have room for just four hard drives.
 
There's a gap in the market between "tiny quiet box" and "screaming enterprise server". 
 
I just want an AV15-like server chassis that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Someone on the ServeTheHome forums posted alleged pricing for bare Storinator chassis from 45drives; this isn't verified but the AV15 cost 5x as much as the Rosewill L4500U I ultimately settled on.

Someone else on this very forum contacted them in 2019 and got pricing as well:
 
This is about the closest thing I've been able to find for a reasonable price (sub-$250):

And while I am sure protocase messages great products, this is the problem with one of custom work that makes it unattainable to individuals. There are not any mass manufacturers of a product like this that I have found. Just not that many sales to warrant it I guess. 

if i had a replacement case for my nas i would .. the noise on this nas is like a small airplane 24/24 7/7 ... the god darn psu fan are tiny whistle lol

Well firstly, give me your current equipment... /s
No, they won't give you a server, they'll probably use it as a sandbox or another production unit

Hello , well this just costed me 1000$ canadian pesos more or less... my 6850k died. after overclocking ram to 2800mhz from 2400 @1.35 volt asus qcode 00 and dimm red light., guessing IMC on cpu deaded ...
 
removed cpu tested in another motherboard at work, yup super dead ...
 
start the rma process . of course i don't lie when they ask as you overclocked that cpu good sir?> well yes i did its a k y u ask !
 
well here is the sweet reply.
 
 
 
never knew this as i never had a intel processor die on me ... hell right now im back on my old x5660 @ 4200mhz ... been ruining for a strait 8 year or something .... i just bough that bs of tuning plan....  hope they replace that cpu.  took me a year to get the cash for that cpu.
 
hope my little story help anybody ... i mean if you rma a K cpu ... you must LIE to intel.  my mother thought me otherwise but life ... it seem's is different.

They really are very slack on their return policy.  You just have to know what to say to them.  Once they receive a returned chip, they don't even bother with testing them.  
 
Just don't ever say that it was overclocked.  That's the only catch.
 
 
Talk about driving a value conscious man insane, he'd run his car into a tree knowing that.  

well its new to me , been working in computer stores for the last 10 years just never had a k overclocked cpu die before that's all posting this in thje hope i can save fomr $$$ from someone else pocket

Yeah, thanks for trying to look out for the next guy man.  
 
Like I said, in the future don't disclose any overclocking and always say the CPU won't boot or load Windows or they'll make you do some testing before approving the RMA.

This is a tech forum pretty sure we have all overclocked our keyboards.
