it's cute but it's so dated. who on earth puts hdd's in ITX new systems? most people have long since migrated to NAS for that kind of storage. they could otherwise easily fit a full length three slot card in by rotating mobo mount 90 deg and OR accommodate a 140mm push/pull radiator. and besides the "good luck" finding a gpu period, even harder luck finding on that fits this case. Hard Pass

Signed up just to let you know how silly your comment is. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, this case is intended to be used for a DIY NAS build?

It's still a weird design that supports 5 HDDs. Consumer itx boards rarely support more than 4 SATA drives, and itx server boards almost always support much more than 4 SATA/SAS drives. The only kind of array you can really build with 5 drives is RAID 0, 5/Z or 6/Z2 and only one of those options is really viable if you want redundancy.

I tried unsuccessfully to refrain from posting. Couldn't help myself. Let's see. For a DIY NAS/server that housing is a fancy interesting piece of hardware. ZFS could have a talk with 5 hard drives, and you'll be surprised how many threads are open looking for a ITX enclosure able to contain more than 2 drives on Reddit r/homelabs or DIY server forums. Even for me it looks "wanna have it" just not now. But good to know that it was released.

despite the massive number of 1 and 2u cases that are often cheaper with better hdd cooling?
