JONSBO N2 series is a Mini-ITX chassis intended for NAS that can hold five 3.5-inch HDDs
The Mini-ITX chassis N2 series is designed for NAS operation There are two colours available: black and white.
N2 White N2 Black; It has a distinct structure with a motherboard on top and five 3.5-inch bays and a power supply unit on the bottom, and a 120mm fan with a 15mm thickness is typical in the drive bay. The temperature rise of the drive is avoided by efficiently draining the heat generated by the HDD.

Manificent cute things...
Only bad point is the lack of space for a good controler to fit with a energy friendly ITX board, so to have a top nas you should get a pro board with the controler onboard that cost... way too much (exemple: around 600 Euro wo taxes for Atom Xeon 8Ce , 3 NVMe, 2 SFF SAS/ATA (4 drive each) , and 4 SATA)
Because of that, Lian li, Chembro and Silverstone NAS box are still better.
But on design this one win from a large point.
Can you recommend any specific models?

I personaly like the Silverstone DS380, i have made many build with it, or the CS381... Vertical or horizontal/ it depend where it will be.
Lian li equivalent were Q35, but it's hard to found it, they also provide special version for NAS only in their pro site.
And for Chenbro you have so many variant that you have almost anything (it's a server specialist that do some "normal" products too)

How does that gaughterboard attach to the motherboard? does the motherboard come with the case? If so what socket? Both the article and the product page are missing all of this
