suggestions on hardware for 4-5 bay unraid server in office (itx foot print)

[Frostyfruit]

Hi all, I have an unraid server at home,

 

Would love to set something up small in the office. I currently have an old QNAP nas running unraid but would prefer to get newer hardware.

 

I don't plan to do any streaming of this box, it will mostly be storage + backup + Dockers. 

 

I would love something that is small ideally ITX (dont have plans to put more than 4 HD's and one or two SSD.

Any suggestions on motherboard + CPU Combo? not looking for anything server grade.

Motherboard that can support ideally 6 Sata - 2x SSD + 4 HD

I also assume the Node 304 is probably the best case for this setup unless others suggest something better

The Node 304 is a fine small footprint server case.

The problem would be the difficulty of sourcing a 6 SATA mini-ITX motherboard.

They're either out of stock or grossly overpriced if you can find one.

Any of those listed below should work when paired with the appropriate Intel LGA 1151 processor.
