Looking for short 1u case w/ 5.25 bay (NAS build)

Hey guys,

Did some searching on the forums and through googling.. but wanted to see if anyone knew of a short 1u case that can fit an itx mobo and has a 5.25 drive bay.

Looking to build a NAS around the supermicro mobos w/ 6 sata ports. Unfortunately, I can not fit a 19" deep case since my rack is only 18" deep. (got it from a customer who was throwing it out) everything else is standard.

Maybe you guys have seen some stuff I have not, but I don't need a 3.5" drive or anything since I will be booting from a USB-Header based disk and mounting the array separately.

Thanks for your suggestions!

-Matt

It's expensive but for $258:

Interesting case. I sent an email to the guys to see if they have another faceplate that works with this case.. This way I can use the 6 drive hot-swap enclosure.. thanks!
