    Concept Pure NAS project

    just to chime in my 3 cents - i'm trying to find something that's basically a nuc that can take 4 x 2.5 hdd... Have actually been considering an s4 and using the traditional cpu area for some 2.5" disks...

    How do I NAS?

    Yeah, I think I was pretty unlucky with my NAS dieing before either HDD in it, and the Synology file system was a bit of a git to read. Have an unraid server too - that is pretty cool software. Think it's great. The two NAS i have are basically just backup devices now. I'm considering putting...

    How do I NAS?

    so hmmm, i would disagree with the <2 bays being pointless. I actually bought 2 single bay synology NAS for almost the same price as a dual bay. They are in different areas of the house and sync with each other. I used to have a dual bay was, and when the nas died on a firmware update, getting...

    SFF.Network Corsair at Computex 2018

    So... Intel Creator PC's - link here: Covers 3 sff computers so & why on earth did I put this in the Corsair Computex thread? That is not the current Corsair One - the front has a new layout. Also have a look at 33 seconds in to that video. The motherboard/PSU positions are reversed. Also...

    NCase M1 importation costs in Europe?

    If you are in the UK, there is an additional charge from parcel force. (They pre-pay your duty, and charge you for the privilege) It's around £8 if i remember correctly, but this was a few years back. Nox

    DIY mITX Case made with Bio-composite Panels

    one word... wow From your choice of materials, workmanship (I can't believe thats all by hand!) and swappable IO. I think the hrs you have put in would make this somewhat unaffordable for mass production but the passion & love has really comes through. Nice one BooTec :)

    Concept Necere's concept/ideation thread

    Alternatively the usb ports etc, could go in the 'base' section? might make assembly a little easier too. I think the front aluminium panel needs 'something' though. Otherwise it might start looking a bit plain.

    so how many responses do you need before the tower goes into production? :P

    Concept Necere's concept/ideation thread

    I like that a lot - would imagine there should be more open holes at the bottom of the vented area too so more air enters there, or a way to do that internally to keep the sleek look? wider would also mean a larger than 140mm fan <could> be used, and potentially additional radiator space space...

    So adding filters to my spec too :D Fan could even be swapped to create positive pressure, I'm surprised it isn't bigger too.

    Concept Necere's concept/ideation thread

    My dream case was an M1, and I bought it :) But lifes changed a bit now, and i'd say it's (roughly) a brushed aluminium corsair one. Twin dual rads, with a big fan on the top taking the air our for both. People choose m-itx because they want a small form factor, maybe space is at a premium on...
