Fun! I used the exact same chassis for my NAS. Thanks for sharing!
- I searched far and wide for the perfect chassis. Silverstone make some awesome stuff.
  
  Yeah, the quality is really good. It's also not cheap. I bought this case mostly because it's rather shallow and did fit into my previous server rack.
  
  I'm now at a point where I should buy another drive cage but I'm a bit hesitant to spend 150€ for it. Well...
  
  Edit: Any reason you decided to go with a non-server mainboard without IPMI and ECC support?
How much did you pay in total?
- I haven’t dared summed it up yet. It’s been purchased over a stretch of time. Guesstimating to around €3000.
  
  Ouch indeed! I'm sure you want to run powerful applications to justify the costs :-)
That's awesome. Thanks for posting the pics and assembly.
Jealous! I gotta upgrade mine soon, the hardware is 12 years old and I’m down to 3TB free.
- Meanwhile I have less than 3TB total lol
  
  Hey man, it doesn't matter how much you have, it's never enough!
  
  My trick is setting a monthly saving for this a few years ago. Today me thanks past me.
  
  Also, I started out with 2x 4TB in raid 1 in my previous server. Or really just an unused desktop with a 1TB disk before that.
Damn, Red Plus really are the best, so quiet.

I really wished they made them 20+TB (I switched to Exos X20 and was pleasantly surprised with the noise profile ... tho my expectations were preset to low).

Awesome, what server chassis is that?
