  • Thanks for all the tips, this is exactly the kind of things I was looking for that I wasn’t thinking about. I guess I’ll go with 3/4U since it looks like it’s the easy solution to fit everything in.

    The last question I’ve got is about the Sata backplate that some of them have in the front, is that compatible with any home PSU/Motherboard or does that require some special HW? I guess for SAS I would need an additional PCI card in order to support it, right?


  • Thanks, that’s very helpful! I couldn’t find much on Amazon but I can find some different retailers with better googling…
    I guess the fans can be easily replaced since they seem normal-sized but now I’m wondering about the PSU, it looks like only some 4U can accommodate an ATX power supply but that would limit my choice immensely.
    Are there any “server shaped” PSUs (how are they called?) that are also silent?
