Case for NAS

[adam-the-kiwi]

Hi All,

I’m looking to put together a home NAS using RAID5 and I’m getting closer to understanding exactly what I want to put together. As an aside, I know I don’t really need a RAID 5 array but putting this together is as much about playing with the technology as it is about cost-efficiency…

Anyway, to my question: while looking for cases, I came across the VIA NSD7800: (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/nsd7800/). This is very close to being exactly what I’m looking for, but I’d like more freedom to put my own components in. Does anyone know if the case can be bought separately or if there is a very similar case out there (that's available in the UK)?

Thanks – Adam
