I have the DS380, and there ain't no way in heck you're fitting a matx mobo in there. I could barely get the itx mobo in there. Check out the size comparison from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Motherboards_form_factors.svg
One thing about the DS380 is the airflow over the drives sucks. My drivers are constantly hitting 40C+ unless I have the side off with an floor fan pointed at the NAS (and I only have 6 drives). If I had know about that in the beginning, I would have gone with a different case. I think there are some options, but I'll have to mess with it. This coming weekend my dremel and I are going to have some fun at trying to fix the problem.
