    mATX case for NAS with 6 hard drive spaces

    Does it exist?
    Is there one with 3 x 5.25 bays so I can use this:

    I would like the smallest case possible! Only going to put 3 drives initially, but would like expansion capabilities up to 5 or 6 if possible..

    Cheers guys

    Found this but something a bit cheaper/smaller would be nicer...

    Re: mATX case for NAS with 6 hard drive spaces

    Cheers Madduck, that looks like it will do the job well... I can't see any dimensions anywhere though... because if its only slightly smaller than the Antec 300 I'd rather go for that...

    edit: ahh I see this review:
    The size is pretty big for a mini-atx case but i suposse that is why it is so cheap.

    W180 x D425 x H360 mm

    Re: mATX case for NAS with 6 hard drive spaces

    Actually thats not that bad...
    Antec Mini P180: 43,5cm(H) x 21,2cm(W) x 43,6cm(D)
    Antec 300: 45.8 (H) x 46.5 (D) x 20.5 cm (W)

    Might recover £5 if I ebay the PSU too...

    Or I could always upgrade my current case and stick one of those coolermaster things in to my antec sonata and then have space for 8 hard drives

    Re: mATX case for NAS with 6 hard drive spaces

    Looks like I only need one that has 4 hard drive spaces now, so any SFF recommendations? I think this looks like it will be up to the job
