I used a Fractal Design R5 for my previous build, and prefer Fractal Design cases to Nanoxia cases. You don't feel like you are cramming anything in. The case is huge, but all the space is nice. With the 4tb drives I have replaced five of nine drives over time, which has driven up the real total cost. My old build with the motherboard, memory, heatsink, CPU, and 4tb drives combined with my new 8tb build. I have replaced the Seagates as they fail, and I had one fail during this upgrade. I originally shucked the Seagates from externals. 9 x 4TB drives, mix of Seagates and HGST NAS.Seven shucked from Best Buy WD easystore externals and two from Amazon as internals. OS Disks: 2 x Intel 330 60GB, mdadm RAID1 Used two 120mm case fans from the Deep Silence 3 case between the two stacks of drives. Used the two bay 3.5" cage, and three bay 2.5" cage from the Deep Silence 3 case.
