SilverStone Technology Mini-ITX NAS Case Storage Aluminum Computer Silver CS01S

I am very impressed with the build quality of this case. The aluminum case walls are surprisingly thick and give the case a sturdy high-quality feel.It comes with a 6 external drive bay with hotswap backplane and a nice bottom mounted intake fan.A very clean and attractive case that holds a whole truckload of disks.

item received in good condition. this case will be my AMD Ryzen 3200G NAS system (FreeNAS).

Just finished putting together my CS01B-HS, it did take a bvit of work. I installed the Motoerboard only to uninstall it 4 times. Took the drive cage in and out 5 timres... silly things like the wifi antenna came unplugged, and my fingers are way too big to get in there.When I installed the M.2 NVME it is on the back of my motherboard. I placed a small heatsink on it to keep it cool. noticed it was very close to the case. 10ga aluminum was too thick, but a piece of 16ga fit nicely. Now the heatsink touches the aluminum shim which touches the side of the case. The entire side of the case is now a heatsink! (and it's about 1/4" thick aluminum) That aluminum shim is bright,i might paint it or take a Sharpie to it to hide it. Now if I can figure a way to get a 10GBASE-T DAC in there...EVGA Z270 Stinger, Core i3-7101TE, 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengence, LSI 9261 controller, 7 x WD Enterprise 600GB 2.5" SAS HDD, 1 x Intel 180GB SATA SSD, 1 M.2 2280 Intel Pro 6000 256GB, Apevia 400W SFX Power Supply, Noctua 120mm Fan, and it all fits!

Pros:*All aluminum construction*Easy to install components*Good airflow designCons:* Needs some tweaking for certain PSUs to fit.I took the chance and purchase the "Used Like New" from Amazon Warehouse for 60 dollars. The case came with no scratches except for the inside of case on side where the motherboard would be installed. The side is covered up so I don't really care. It came all the screws and the manual still in their individual packets. I would definitely say that it was worth the gamble and I am considering buying used items on Amazon more often.The case itself is an all aluminum construction with modern design will fit well in any environment. The side panels are on opposite sides of the case and come off with thumb screws so installing the motherboard was crazy easy. I purchased the non hotswap model and hdd caddies are conveniently located above the motherboard. I used the Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler and barely had any more clearance so I highly recommend getting a low profile cooler.The only issue I came across was when I was installing the Corsair SF450 PSU the L bracket that holds one side of PSU covers up the on\off switch so I need to remove it. The L bracket is held on with screws so was easy to remove. The case is designed for the components to lay down in a 90 degree angle so gravity isn't pushing the part where L bracket wouldn't be.This last part isn't a con but just a consideration. The case only has a single full size PCI-E slot so I wouldn't consider this for a gaming PC build. This case meant to be a HTPC or server build.

First impressions of this is that it is worth the ~$150 I paid for it on sale. High quality and High precision build-quality.Being my first SilverStone case I tell you this unveiling will always influence me to consider these products when working on a computing build.
