Case recommendation (lemmy.world)

So right now my server (unRAID) is a PC, with a PCI SATA card installed hooked up to 6 HDD’s, 2 SSD’s and an NVME. I also have a 1070 in there for transcoding and a few other things.

I want to move to a rack mounted case, but I don’t want to buy a different form factor motherboard or PSU (cause expensive). Can anyone recommend an ATX server case? Also a rack for it to go in?

Are you looking for a 4u case and what part of the world are you buying from?

4u would be fine, I’m in the UK

The second link you sent looks promising, the codegen one isn’t very good apparently, seen some reviews on it and it didn’t have the best build quality.
