  1. Perfect, thanks. I have updated the build to reflect the change in PSU. I think PC Part Picker had hidden that PSU because of the compatibility filter and it not being aware of the ATX mounting bracket. Would it be worthwhile adding a CPU cooler? Or is it something to worry about further down the line? With regards to HDDs, I think I will go for the WD Red 4TB. This should give me 20TB of usable space if and when I fill the case.
  2. Thanks for the feedback. Comparing the width and height of the SFX PSUs to the ATX, would I need any sort of adapter to fit it into the case? Edit: Just seen that it comes with a mounting plate for ATX cases! Will take a look into the Reds, thanks for the recommendation.
  3. Hello all, Hopefully this is the correct area to post. I have been interested in building a NAS for a while now and have been researching recommended parts.
