I think out of this build, the case is giving me the biggest trouble.
I only want it to support around 6 drives. According to other reviews, the Fractal Design NODE 304 got great reviews (good build, cooling, ample space), but it only supports Mini-ITX!!!
The motherboard I'm going for is the SuperMicro X10SLM+-F.
I did find the Lian Li PC-V354, but the footprint on that is kind of big. I don't want it too small where I run into heat issues, but I don't want it too big either.
Any suggestions? The Fractal would have been awesome if the motherboard would have fit.
Or actually... I could swap out the motherboard for a Mini-ITX one. I just chose the SuperMicro based on the hardware recommendations. Seems there's lots of nice cases for Mini-ITX. But I'm cautious about the Intel Atoms, which is another one recommended here. According to the unRAID community, there have been quite a few failures on the Atom boards (particularly the ASRock ones).
