Enclosures and acoustic damping to help quiet them.

quiet, hot-swappable mini-ITX case?

Post by Mikity » Sun Jan 22, 2017 2:48 am

I'm looking to build myself a mini-ITX file server, running FreeNAS or maybe OpenMediaVault. I'd like a smart little case that is quiet and has space for 5 or more hot-swappable drives.

So far these look interesting:
  • Lian Li PC-Q25 (brief review by a forum user here): slick looking case, but no especially silent characteristics
  • Fractal Design Node 304 (SPCR review here): another nice case, I'm a fan of Fractal Design (love their Define R5), but no hot-swap bays...
Anyone know of any comparable alternatives?

Thanks!
