I'm looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don't need a ton of space. But I'd like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

Check out the Jonsbo N1 on NewEgg. It's pretty popular among NAS DIYers.

I have one of these and it's worked pretty well after some mods for cooling better.

What cooling mods did you do?

Removed the front metal panel so it's all mesh. Replaced front fan with a 3000 rpm notcua. Zip tied a 14cm notcua over the mobo.
