Over twelve years ago, I built my very first DIY NAS. At the time, I had a very specific and unconventional idea in mind for my DIY NAS to be: small, with a passively cooled CPU, room for about 6 SATA drives, without breaking the bank. A bit surprisingly, I stumbled on a discounted motherboard that met this criteria, the ASUS E35M1-I Fusion. The motherboard met my criteria and it wound up being incredibly inexpensive, so naturally I bought it!| Butter, What?!
I outgrew the case for my DIY NAS, the MK735, and to replace it, I had to buy three products: a Silverstone Technology CS382, an Icy Dock Express Cage MB038SP, and an Icy Dock ToughArmor MB411SPO-2B. I’ll share my review of all three products and talk about the outcome of this upgrade.| blog.briancmoses.com
