So I'm setting up a home made NAS. Currently, my storage solution consists of two 2.5" HDDs and one 3.5" HDD.

 

Needs:

Great airflow for hard drives

mATX mid tower

Budget friendly (no more than $35 or so, but I can stretch it if need be)

 

don't care about RGB or a side panel window or anything like that. also doesn't have to be whisper quiet, as it'll be in the basement. function over form is what i'm going after

 

thanks :)

Most mATX cases don't support too many drives. are you willing to do normal ATX?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
