Budget Case with a large number of hard drive cages

[BryanNichols10]

Hey all,

 

So I'm looking for a case to put my NAS server in that will have at least 4 3.5 inch drive cages. I'm not too concerned with looks or size as it is the kind of thing that will live in my wiring closet. Preferably im looking for something under $100 dollars US but im willing to budge a little. The best option I've found so far is the Fractal Define R5 with its 8 drive cages but its a little over what I would like to spend.

 

Thank you for any help!

Hey that's actually pretty good. Thank you! Will add it to the list of options.

You’re in luck.  The biggest problem with cheap cases is they’re old designs using old tooling and they’re more or less stuffed with 3.5” and 5.25” bays whether you want em or not.  I suspect just about any case in the sub $40 range will do for you.
