Hello

 

Suggest smallest possible cases for my upcoming NAS build, which can fit ATX PSU, since SFX is not so easy to come by where I live.

It HAS to be able to fit at least 6 3.5" drives.

 

Smallest case I found myself, with these parameters, is "be quiet! Silent Base 800".

It looks very nice :) and is said to be very quiet. Since 6 7200RPM drives would make a lot of noise, it would be nice if the case was silenced.

Take a look at the HP Microserver Gen8, all you need to do is add drives.

Shows it only fits 4 3.5" drives. I need at least 6.
