★★★★★Perfect Small factor NAS
This is the best small factor NAS case there is. I tried a few and this is leagues above the others. Build quality is great, almost all brushed metal construction. Style is timeless. Easy access to hot-swap drive bays. Good separation of mobo and drives. Good airflow. Easy to build. And takes a tiny amount of space. The only things that would make it even better are: 1 - A better built-in fan for the drives, I swapped it for a silent arctic cooling one. 2 - Slightly better layout that may allow for more space between the drives and fan, and perhaps the PSU. But this might come at the expense of the small size.

★★★★★Sick mITX NAS Case!
Great little case! Just put it together and it was really simple. Has instructions on cable management and fit everything I needed in it. Time will tell if the hotplate holds up but so far so good. The fan it comes with is pretty loud since the plate runs it at full speed, but I’m going to replace it with a 15mm Noctua with the quiet cable. If you’re going to have this on your desk, I’ll plug the fan it comes with into the motherboard instead for PWM control. Tip: Enable Hot Plug in PCH Storage Configuration, BIOS!

★★★★★Nice case, good cable routing, noisy fan
Overall I like this case except for the noisy, slightly non-standard fan. Pros: - For a small case it has very good support for neat cable routing. - Most of the case is assembled with small screws so you can easily partially disassemble it to help route cables in best positions. - The power supply can be mounted with the fan facing either the louvers on the case side or inward toward the case interior. This is handy at least in my case where the power supply fan was the noisiest fan (after replacing the case fan) and orienting so it faced the interior of the case made it much quieter. Cons: - The case fan is very noisy for a case that is obviously designed to be attractive and used in an occupied room or office. And while it is a 120mm fan, it is only 15mm thick instead of the normal 25mm of standard PC case fans. This limits the options for quieter replacements. I did replace it with a Noctua fan the same size but it runs at a higher speed than their really quiet case fans and is therefor somewhat noisier. It would have been nice if they had made the case a minor 10mm deeper so it fit a standard fan. As it is, there is not enough clearance with the cables to allow a 25mm fan to fit. - A minor annoyance is that the front panel board has both USB-A and USB-C 3.0 connectors, but it seems that most low power motherboards that would likely be used in a NAS system do not have a compatible USB-C motherboard connector (some don't even have a USB-A 3.0 connector) and the heavy cables from these are difficult to route, especially hiding an unused one. Fortunately, the connectors for these are easily removed from the front panel board with two small screws each if they are not needed. As I said, a pretty nice case overall. The hot plug drives seem to fit and seat quite nicely.

★★★★★Can't get much better for a compact, stealth NAS.
I don't have a lot of space in my apartment, so this NAS sits less than 2 feet from my head as I work at my desk. ITX form factor with the compute on top and the drive storage below means that it fits in your average ikea shelving unit made to fit those cloth storage bins. Cooling seems sufficient, I can easily feel the air from the back fan flow out the front of the case. I did replace the stock fan with a Noctua one, using a 3D printed bracket to mount the thicker Noctua to the back of the case. Nose level was pretty good with the stock fan, and with a Noctua case fan and CPU cooler this thing is near silent. Build quality is very great, nice finish to the metal, hardware is tucked away so it's there when I need to get into the case, and access is quick with the two screws on either side of the lid. Getting cables under the motherboard once it's screwed down is near impossible, so you want to do all your SATA power cable routing before lowering the motherboard into place, but I'm pretty sure they mention this in the instructions. As an added bonus, there's just enough space around the ventilation at the front of the case to do a bit of sticker-bombing.

★★★★★Great little case for home NAS
Used this for a TrueNAS home install. Great case, easy to setup. If I ever need to go to the basement where the server equipment is, it looks great (lol).
