Hi guys,

I am trying to find a case for as cheap as possible and one that is reasonably good. It's to house a NAS that I'm going to be building.

It will consist of an MATX motherboard and I need it to hold 4 hard drives. I think its possible to use 5.25" bays with adapters that are about £2.50 each.

I do not need a PSU.

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)
 
Thanks for the responses.

I asked because I thought you had a size restriction for the case.
Pretty much any ATX case these days will accept mATX mobos and it gives you more HDD bays compared to a mATX case.

You could go with the

or

They look like two good options. How about this one though? It's another Xigmatek that is cheaper. Was there a reason you didn't include this?

Comes with 3 hard drive trays and you can convert the top 5.25 bay with an adapter for a hard drive, so there's your 4, done and dusted while keeping the size as small as possible and cheap!

Is this not only mini-ITX support?

Thanks :)
