However, the subjective aesthetics, objective functionality of the case and the custom PSU are worth the cost if you want a small but capacious home file server case. It's less than 16" deep, 9" wide, 15" tall and weighs less than 12 pounds. As with the Fractal Array R2, the hard drives are placed immediately behind a front intake fan - though in this case, it's an even larger mm unit. When stuffed with four low-rpm green drives, the temperatures under load don't exceed 45C during sustained transfers.
Overall build quality is very good, like most Silverstone cases. This extender connects to a single SATA power plug and then has four SATA power plugs that are spaced closer than usual together, further reducing cable clutter.
Though the cost of these accessories adds up, they make an ideal cabling solution very easy to implement. If you go with a single 12V rail model, you'll want that rail to be beefy - for example, don't try to put ten HDDs and four case fans on a budget PSU with a 20A 12V rail.
Very few cases can accommodate ten HDDs at stock without adding adapters , and such cases are not at all small. Enhanced Extended ATX. Extended ATX. Micro ATX. Athena Power. Silverstone Technology.

For airflow, the case comes with two mm fans at the left side that work as intake fans and blow fresh air directly onto the 3. A mm rear fan is also included that works as an exhaust fan. The clearance for CPU cooler is 57mm and for graphics cards or expansion cards, it is mm for length and mm for width. Other features include magnetic dust filters and Kensington lock.
When it comes to computer cases then Fractal Design is one of the best manufacturers around. Here we have Fractal Design Node , which is a micro-ATX Cube Case that may seem small but has enough room to fill almost all the high-end components. The case can support up to ten 3. Three Fractal Design mm Silent Series R2 fan comes included with the case along with a fan controller. The front panel includes two USB 3. The build quality of the case is solid and it can support CPU coolers up to mm in height, graphics cards up to mm in length, up to mm radiator and ATX power supply.
The case features a transparent left side panel and has got removable dust filters for all intake fans including the PSU fan. Overall a high-quality case, which can be used to build as NAS or a relatively powerful workstation. Here are some of the best mid-tower cases that support a decent number of hard drives and can be used for building a NAS, Server or Workstation. A pretty solid mid-tower case from SilverStone that can accommodate up to nine 3. The case features an innovative hard drive cooler, which is basically a heatsink that attaches to the hard drive bay assembly.
It also supports four 5. For airflow, it comes with a mm exhaust fan at the rear and a mm intake fan at the right side of the case. You can also install more fans if you want to increase the airflow and cooling performance. The case has CPU Cooler clearance of mm, which means you can fit most of the tower cooler in it.
The graphics card length supported is up to mm. Other features include a large transparent side window panel and easy access removable dust filters for intake fans. Overall, a simple, effective and no-nonsense case for building a professional workstation, server or maybe a NAS unit. The case offers a ton of room for all the high-end components including high-end graphics cards and bigger radiators. What we cannot do is tell you which design looks the best. What we can say is that you should take your time and look at lots of photos to be sure you will enjoy the look of whichever case you end up getting, while still ensuring it will give you great performance.
And all of this without spending a fortune on your case that you could better put to getting more powerful components for the PC itself. One last thing to get out of the way: a big thank you to Gamers Nexus for their hard work on benchmarking cases, they really do a great job measuring thermals and noise for a huge number of available cases.
We recommend looking at their article on cases from to understand their methodology as we use their numbers often when deciding between different cases. Arguably the most important performance measure of a case is how cool it allows your components to be run, based on how well the inside allows for airflow and fan set up. And based on Gamers Nexus, there are a few cases that allow for strong airflow and therefore cooler thermals, including our recommendation for the best mesh front airflow designed ATX case: the CoolerMaster HP Mesh.
The HP Mesh takes the previous tempered glass panel version and converts the front to mesh, vastly improving the thermals while maintaining a similar aesthetic. While the option next on this list might be the true king of low noise cases , its price tag is prohibitive for many people when they are budgeting out their build. So with that in mind, our recommendation for the best quiet ATX case is the be quiet!
