Nas case suggestions

Not that this hasn't been asked before, but what are your favorite NAS cases on 2023?

I started with an old antec p180 case back 20 years ago.

Currently using a rosewell rsv-l4500 4u.

Really wish I could get my hands on a 45drivres style case like the q30 or something - just without the insane price tag. 😂

For the casual selfhoster, The Node 304 is hard to beat. Great cooling potential (U14S) with a 140mm exhaust, ATX power supply, 6 3.5" + 2 SSDs, and GPU all in <20L. I can literally sneak my server in anywhere!

  That is a really nice small form factor case. I was recently looking at Fractal's Define 7 XL because it can hold an amazing 18 3.5" + SSDs.
  
  Yeah that is quite a few drives! But then you are reaching datahoarder levels.
  
  I have been selfhosting for 3 years now and I am still on my first mirrored 4TB drive set 😅 I will get an 8 or 10 next and probably be set for like 10 years with 4 drives. If I pass that, I will need to saxrifice my M.2 boot drive for an M.2 sata controller. iTX problems.
  
  Node 804 has something cool, 10 drives in a complete seperate chamber with separate cooling than the "normal" parts, plus micro ATX for a PCIe SATA controller.

Thank you for visiting our site. Unfortunately, the www.rosewill.com website is unavailable in the European Union.

Nice brand indeed.
- I'm hoping to get this in the next few weeks, it's perfect for my needs.
- Rosewill is just Newegg's brand. They also sell some stuff on eBay and Amazon.
  
  The model to look for is RSV-L4500U
I have an Inter-tech Sc-4004 and Silverstone SST-CS350B, works well for me
Could look into the 45 drives hl15. It's not cheap, but it looks friggin awesome!!
