Perfect for my NAS build – worked well.
My objective was to take some old parts I had, and buy some additional compatible parts from ebay to build a NAS server running TrueNAS scale. This case is exactly what I was looking for to make it all happen. The build pictured features:P8Z77-M (matx and has 2 pcie x16 slots)32GB of 1333mhz ram (zfs eats ram)intel i7 2600lsi 9210-8i (set it to IT mode and let the OS handle the redundancy)P620 graphics card. (plenty of juice for transcoding in a small form factor)A few of the beQuiet! 120mm fans from amazon.Six EXOS 12TB drives and two 1TB SSD’s. (4 drive for live storage, 2 for replication/snapshots).Unrelated but I use a QNAP TR-004 in JBOD for my third backup and some cloud storage too for really important stuff. This is a case review right? But there’s a hundred chassis out there for this purpose – but this one fit all my requirements perfectly and the above list of parts I wanted to use is why.Packaged really well so zero damage from shipping.The case was pretty easy to assemble, it did take some patience and time – cable routing required some thought and planning but honestly it went together pretty nicely. Take your time and plan things out, and be prepared to pull the cabling back out and try again. Anyone can smash some cables together but you want to maintain the airflow, reduce places that dust can build up, and keep it easy to maintain so In a year you aren’t irritated at a hardware failure AND your lazy cabling job.It came with 2 fans on the drive bays and 1 in the rear of the chassis. The rear fan is pretty quiet, the two drive bay fans run at full speed and are loud out of the box. I haven’t resolved that yet so it’s behind me – not screaming like a server but it’s not for a quiet home office. You’ll want to plan to do something to quiet those down (using 4 pins on mobo or fan controller card). I reused a power supply that was too big and I regretted it. It worked but wasn’t super fun. The rest of it went together pretty easy, follow the instruction booklet as the chassis does need disassembly in a certain order.One more thing to note. The enclosure requires 4 power connectors total. Backplane for the top 4 and the bottom 4 each require 1 molex and 1 sata power connector.Overall happy with the chassis, and how it came out. No regrets with this purchase.Update 01.08.24I unplugged the fans from the drivebay, attached to motherboard and moved my motherboard fans to a separate fan controller. They went from 2300RPM to about 1000RPM but controlled by the motherboard which is normal white noise instead of a screaming fan at full speed. The 2 drivebay fans are intake and my two chassis fans are exhaust. Great case.

Disappointing from Silverstone
Got this to replace a microatx cube case for my more-than-a-nas-but-less-than-a-homelab server, after getting tired of taking it apart to add or replace disks. So I’ve always thought of Silverstone as a brand you go to if you want good looks and serious quality, at a bit of a price premium, and this looked like the best option.Sadly, t·his definitely comes with the price but the quality leaves much to be desired.- The front facade is all plastic, including the main door, and all the drive sleds. It’s not even a particularly good feeling plastic.-The drive sleds, being plastic, have a lot of flex and it’s very easy to put them in a bit wrong. My case actually came with one of them misaligned and i had to exert more force than I’d like to get it out.-The sleds come with these semi-toolless rails that feel incredibly flimsy. A cheap coolermaster case I got 15 years ago had better drive mounting hardware.-The metal feels noticeably thinner than I’m used to in a PC case. it feels like there were some more corners cut here.-The front door only has a magnetic closure if it’s unlocked, so it really likes to swing open while you’re moving around. Best to lock up (and hopefully not lose the key)That said it’s not completely horrible-No sharp edges on the metal. Most of the edges are folded over.-The design itself is nice and understated. No windows, no fancy gamer lights.-Good cable management options-Has a lot of drive bays in addition to the hotswap ones. It can take a full-size 5.25 bay at the very top, a couple drives underneath the hotswap bays, and even a bonus slim optical slot off to the side.

Hard Drive fans, geez
Case is great, but as other reviewers have pointed out, those hard drive fans are running full tilt, and are super loud. I just ordered a auto fan controller with digital display that goes in the 5.25 bay, Hoping that resolves this issue, other than this the case is as compact as can be for 8 bays, yet maintains enough room for all your parts without modification. excellent quality, and a great look. wish it had side feet so you can place it on its side. I will likely add some next. so I can put it on a shelf, rather than leave it as a tower.

One of the best NAS server cases out there
This is arguably the best NAS case on the market. Motherboard installation with CPU at the bottom (MB gets installed from the right side) makes cooling easier and better as all add-on cards are facing upwards. 8-bay disk cage is perfect for a home NAS, and microATX formfactor provides enough room for add-on cards.As for cons, and that’s why I removed one star, the disk backplanes block the majority of the airflow coming through the disk cage. For the cost of the case the backplanes could have been designed better. Also, the PSU shroud could be a tad shorter, leaving more space for cabling between it and the back of the drive cage.
