Hmm. Well I know Lian-Li manufactured the N-CASE M1.... this case isn't suspiciously similar at all...

Hmmmm, the front bezel is lockable - presumably so that nobody can accidentally access the 'power' button. Only, what's to prevent someone from yanking out the plug on the back?! Seems like a feature that could be easily omitted to lower the manufacturing costs...

How many people accidentally yank the power cord out of the back?

build one...

it doesn't take that much power to run a NAS like freeNAS...if you find a used but working PC, just add a few of your own HDD and install any of free NAS OS on very small HDD (OS takes less than 500MB for linux-based NAS)...

The exterior shape may be similar but unfortunately this is way bigger than the NCASE M1.

I used to run FreeNAS 8, but find that my QNAP works way better. Got it for about $800 CAD, and popped my 1TB drives that I had in my FreeNAS box into it. Way better than FreeNAS IMHO.

Doubt it measures up to that price tag. Node 304 > any itx case so far.
