Hello all,
I need to find a NAS chassis that can accommodate 2 hot swappable 3.5" HDD (plus 1 SSD somewhere inside). The chassis has to have max 21 cm height because I want to have it inside my TV platform in livingroom.
Why, you might ask? Since it's a NAS, it doesn't need to visible or anywhere livingroom, right? Well the reason is that the apartment where I live, is a bit old and doesn't have enough of power outlets nor any RJ-45 built in the wall
So, I need to have it quiet and small in the living room, unfortunately. Silence is the reason why I got a PicoPSU for it and only two HDD because of this restriction (2x3Tb plates are enough for me).
What I already got:
Mem: 2x2Gt DDR3
Mobo: Intel DH77EF
Processor: Intel 2100T
of course I could just have the HDD's in the open, outside the chassis or I could do without chassis but it is way better to have it all inside a proper chassis with dust and all getting inside the components.
This would be nice, I could turn it on its side: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/513714015/NAS_Case_Server_Chassis_w_2.html
Recommendations? Or am I doomed to just tuck everything in the TV platform?
Thanks for your interest!
