My gaming rig has the R5, and I intend to eventually move my unraid server into it when I get a new one for it. Room for expansion, and I just love the aesthetic of it.
currently my unraid lives in a Node 804. I needed compact and it fit in perfectly where it’s located which was cramped for space.
You’re probably best, imho, going for the Meshify 2. Have read great things on it, cracking looking case, good number of included fans and so much room if you ever decide to add additional drives 😃
