Question Recommand a case for Free NAS Server

[software_d00d]

Hello, I'm currently in the process of specing out new hardware for something that can host Free NAS Server, which will replace a 5 year of EOL WD MyCloud EX4 NAS.

I'm starting with the case, wanting either a mini tower or small form factor. I found one on Amazon, however its out of stock and don't have any idea when it will be back in.

I'm wanting to build with SSD. Allocate one disk for Free NAS and 4 SSD Drives as RAID 6. Also want to keep the case cool too, with some sort of fan.

Let me know if anyone has any recommendations or a better way to get started.

thanks

Not an answer per se:

Just of out of curiosity and for the record: what "Amazon" case are/were you considering?

Case budget?

For the most part I would think that you would be able to save the money and pick up a suitable used case either at very low cost or maybe even for free. Likely to have a fan as well.

Ask family and friends, look about.

This is the case, looks like it is back in stock as of right now.

Well, if I build a system for Free NAS I want it to be nice and last for a period of time to recoup my cost that I sink into it, since I have a ton of data on it that is important to me.
