Great sized case with so much room for upgrade. I currently have an ITX with 5 HDD for my NAS and plans to add a few more drives. The case itself is metallic and a bit noisy to work with but once completed, it's really not a problem at all. There's plenty of mesh throughout the case to allow for airflow and a variety of fan placements. I didn't fill up all of the fan spots as that would be too much, but low key wonder if that would leave some dead air space in the case. I did have a small issue with drive temps at the bottom bay since the only fans were towards the back acting as an exhaust and I don't want hot air to exhaust through the front. I was able to quickly 3D print a mod to the front of the case, just behind the wood veneer, to add 2 more 140 mm fans to intake air which worked perfectly, averaging 35 C on my 5 drives. Given that I was only installing an ITX, I had zero issues with accessibility in a large case like this and cable management was absolutely no problem. The hard drive compartment require grommets to be installed on the hard drive to "slide" into the case with just a rubber handle to pull it out, it works but not the most elegant solution. The backplane was a bit sketch at first but proved to be good and reliable as it accepted the my drives with little issues and felt quite solid when pushing the drives into it. All in all, great next step in a home NAS solution upgrading from my 3D printed NAS case with 2 drives and plenty of room for upgrades for performance and storage. Price was quite competitive with other NAS cases I was looking at but this looks much better in the living room than a tower. Worth it for an upgrade to a personal home server.

Really good case. The instructions are appalling. Fortunately there is a video on Youtube by NASCompare that shows how to setup this case in a way that means you only have to open it once to get everything in right. TBH I would have accepted another 2cm in depth in return for the extra space that would create between Power supply and side drive bays.

Great case for my server.

Put Noctua fans in to replace the stock fans. Machine now runs silent! Now it's perfect.

Absolutely love this case, it was perfect for my server that had outgrown a more typical pc case. The hotswap drive bays are awesome and easy to access, and this was one of the only cases I could find for a server with a large raid array that could also fit a large GPU in it. The case is spacious, but doesn't have an overly large footprint. It's well designed, good materials, easy to work on and expand/grow into, has plenty of room for cable management, just about any hardware can fit in it. I can't say enough good things about it. For someone who needed full atx (or larger) compatibility, lots of HDD bays, to fit a large gpu in it, this case is seriously great. I can't say enough good things about it. If I could say ANYTHING negative about it, the case fans it comes with were on the louder side, though not terrible definitely audible, and I did replace them for quieter operation, but that didn't cost much and it didn't make me think less of the case itself. Only other negative I can think of is the price, but after owning it I do think it was worth the cost. Love this case and would buy again or recommend to a friend.
