February 9, 201313 yr I've had a Lian-Li case with the works running unRAID for a few years now. Since drives are getting exponentially bigger I have no need for such a large rig.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a case with the smallest possible footprint, able to house 5-6 drives? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
February 9, 201313 yr Here are some at Newegg 2 of these are Lian Li and I have used both of them with good success.
February 9, 201313 yr Just a few more options, just to be different: http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=303&area=en http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7446.msg72114#msg72114 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717132
February 9, 201313 yr What size is your mobo? Most cases are designed with a certain mobo form factor in mind, ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX.
February 9, 201313 yr Author Thanks. I like the Lian-Li case.. Seems like it will be a good fit. I doubt any of the hardware I have in my current setup will be moved to the smaller server, so I think I will be selling it.
February 11, 201313 yr I really wish someone stocked these in the US: 8 Bay: http://nbtaifa.en.alibaba.com/product/484820141-212566619/NAS_Server_Chassis_w_8_Hot_Swappable_SATA_SAS_Drive_Bays_Mini_ITX_.html?tracelog=cgsotherproduct1 6Bay: http://nbtaifa.en.alibaba.com/product/484889010-212566619/NAS_Server_Chassis_w_6_Hot_Swappable_SATA_SAS_Drive_Bays_Mini_ITX_.html The last time I got a quote, it was like $160 a unit after shipping for the 8bay. but you need to order 10.. I would consider buying some and putting the rest on ebay. I just dont have time right now. and when i have time, i don't have the money..

I've been patiently waiting for the 8bay to be released over here by either an importer or the rumor that Norco was planning one of their own. If you ever decide to purchase a lot I'de be willing to put in for one myself.
