Budget 0-20k New to NAS, looking for a cabinet

[mantheman]

8-9k?

They said the same price.

I'm actually ok with 6 HDD

Same, but the problem is there was too much wasted space on their 2U, and it's a wasted opportunity since the HDD cage is also modular.

True that! Just an itch to try a rack case

100%

I sent the below image for re-design consideration, and it came out very similar lol

If they keep the price same then it'll be a really great option to try out. When I asked about the price of the upgraded case on WhatsApp they stopped responding.

[A little off-topic but their official WhatsApp number has a DP of a young lady with dreamy eyes... not something you would expect on a company's official WhatsApp number. I was a little concerned when I messaged them and asked if it was Extreme Machines in the first message I sent. Got a yes and then proceeded to converse with them. ]

I also found a supplier named Prime Source (https://www.primesource.in/index_rackmountchassis.htm) for a 4U rackmount chassis. They quoted me 15k + GST for the RM 4002 chassis which can handle 10x 3.5-inch HDDs.

Looks like Extreme Machine Stores took out a new 4U Server Chassis:

XtremeMiner 4U Rack Mount CPU Server Chassis for 19 Inch U Rack (with Fixing clamp Mounting)

It can hold:

4 X 2.5" Drives
4 X 3.5" Drives

The lower 3.5" HDD cage doesn't seem to have any fan in front of it. The 2 X 120mm fans are above and seem to be only for the 2.5" SSD/ HDD cage and GPU.

This doesn't look like a very good chassis for a multiple HDD-based NAS build.

I think it can be modified.
