Take a look at Rajahal's prototype thread in the UCD forum and more specifically this post. There is a 9 drive budget box build in there that sounds like it could fit the bill for you nicely. I saw these prototypes and they are nice. I was just trying to get a case with 6 external bays so there is no empty sections but it is not so important. I will follow your advice and go for a prototype build for my first one. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Indeed, it looks to be a decent case to put your drives in. What case will you use for your motherboard/processor, and what connections will you use between the two enclosures. Well, to be honest, reading the description on the iStarusa site, I didn't realised it was not a regular case where I could fit a motherbooard/CPU and everything with the drives. Not so nice for a first post. Anyway, thanks for your answer.

Hi, It is my first post I am new to unRaid but I read you guys everyday for some times. I am trying to organize my ideas at the moment for my first build. I don't need 12-15 drive but maybe around 8-10 so I am looking for a case with six external bays. I saw these cases today: http://www.istarusa.com/istarusa/product_speclist.php?series=Tower⊂=JBOD CASE My plan would be to get the S-7B-JB with 2X BPN-DE340SS. That would give me 8 drives in a nice and clean case. Somebody tried one of them yet? Are they good? thanks!
