My UnRaid server has been using an old repurposed desktop tower/mobo and has been fine, but I want to replace it with a more purpose-built setup. Also, I came into some Unifi rackmount gear that I'd like to rack up with my new UnRaid build. I would like this thing to be space-economical if possible - I live in a small house and space is at a premium. My UnRaid currently runs 3x 3.5" (plus an M.2 cache) but it'd be nice to be able to fit 6, give or take, eventually. I mostly use it for file storage, photography detritus, and family stuff, some Dockers, light use of Plex: So, specs: ??? rackmounted UnRaid fileserver 1U Unifi USG (short, like 5-6") 1U Unifi switch (15" depth) Does anyone have recommendations for a rack and a server chassis that can hold this gear optimally? I was thinking about building around a GIGABYTE C246M-WU4 Micro-ATX in maybe a Rosewill RSV-R4100 4U chassis, but would love it to be even smaller. Also I can't find the right rack and not sure if I should just rack the network gear since it's so light and get a regular desktop case, or what. Opinions most welcome.

Those look great, thanks!

Thanks! I'm looking specifically to add one 2.5 SSD (as a cache disk) and one 3.5" magnetic disk (as a regular pool disk).

Hi - I recently set up my first Unraid server and loving it. I repurposed an old Corsair tower. It has 4 3.5" bays and two 5.25" bays above. I want to add two more drives into this system, a 2.5" SSD and another 3.5" magnetic disk. I am missing the plastic runners to hold the last existing 3.5" bay, sadly. What is the best way to add the two additional drives (and maybe leave further expansion space)? I assume putting some kind of mounts or cage into the 5.25" area makes sense, but the array of products is dizzying, and I'm not sure what additional cooling might be wise. Thanks!
