Trying to find a case and PSU for my needs - suggestions?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.

As I read more about unRAID, I quite like it.

I have ordered some parts, but still need a case, PSU and drives.

 

I am struggling to find a good case for a good price to fit my needs.

 

I would prefer some sort of mid-ATX case with 6-8 3.5" drives, which allows for growth.

The ability to pull drives from the front of the case and replace (hot-swap), would be nice, but its not critical.

I have looked at the Fractal 304 case, which is nice and has 6 internal drives. My concern is, what if i tap out and need more drives. I am limited to 6.

But just looking for additional items.

Does anyone know of or could recommend a decent case that they like/recommend?

 

Lastly, PSU. I have long been a Seasonic fan.

I am looking at this one:

That should be enough to run 4-8 drives?

 

I also found this one:

But have heard some concerning things about the GP line from Seasonic. Apparently, they went "cheap" on some areas.

 

Thanks guys.
