Nice case for the Unraid server! The interior looks quite similar to the Xigmatek I have, but the outside looks quite better than mine, a bit more serious, instead of the cheap gaming look mine has. Nice find!

I don't know how those HDD plastic mounts are, mine has them too, but I think I will replace them for standard screews, as they are really flimsy.

Nice builds alltogether, congrats.

I don't mind the HDD mounts on this case. It seems pretty stable. Overall, I'm really happy with everything.

I do find myself having the urge to always tweak things. For example, I have a customized my Confluence skin but now I'm looking at switching to Aeon Nox. I'm never satisfied. Anyone else have this problem?

What kind of temps are you getting on your HDDs?
The case doesn't seem to have a front or side fan, and it seems like one of the drives could overheat without a fan close by.

BTW, great build!!! and Excellent crown molding and lighting! Smile

The temps are fine. As long as they aren't climbing to 45+ for too long they should be fine.
