NAS Case Suggestions

[crgnclsn]

Anyone got any good suggestions for a case to build a NAS in? I would be aiming for 4-6 3.5" drives. Ideally would want it to be as compact as possible for portability!

Looks nice. Good to build in? Keep all the drives plenty cool?

I am going for as compact as possible so will check out some reviews for the 304. Thanks for all of the advice everyone!

Personally, I'd just go with Synology. I used to have custom built NAS devices, until I used a couple of Synology devices, after a day of using them, I bought my own.

What software did you use on your custom built NAS systems bledd? The Synology machines do look nice and the software looks good but from my research FreeNAS does much the same and more + you can save a bunch on the hardware.
