Case or chassis for home server / NAS

[typhon0]

Hi ,what is the best for a multi purpose home server / NAS between this server chassis https://www.inter-tech.de/en/products/ipc/server-cases/4u-4088-s

 and a more traditional case like this one : http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=452&area=en

 

Thanks

The DS380 doesnt have the best quality hotswap bays, and it is ITX with an SFX PSU only. 

The 4U rackmount is much larger but it holds an ATX size motherboard and standard PSU, it doesnt have hotswap either FYI. 

 

If you want something small, have you checked out this one by Norco? https://www.amazon.com/Norco-Mini-ITX-Computer-Storage-support/dp/B012UO63TK

Or for a more expensive chassis, the Will Jaya (which is a rebranded U-NAS NSC-810a basically) https://www.amazon.com/Will-Jaya-Hot-Swap-Enclosure-Expansion/dp/B01HFDHBBK

 

If you want a full size case, theres also the Rosewill L4500 which is a bit longer but runs nice and cool and supports a lot of drives: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rosewill-Server-Chassis-Server-Case-Rackmount-Case-4U-Metal-Rack-Mount-Server/172871306469

I'm not looking for a small case because the server will be in a basement , hot-swap is not a requirement either . Unfortunately the rosewell chassis is difficult to find in France but I see that it's not very different from the  inter tech chassis.
