# Introduction

I saw this NAS case while browsing reddit and I loved the form factor and style of it. I found it locally and bought it before I read up on some of the downsides to this case. I had some parts laying around and had to purchase some components. This build ran me more than I intended it to.

## Downsides

The airflow for components in this case is terrible. The fan that is suppose to draw air in is blocked by a metal plate - which I have removed. This has helped a lot, but the drives are so closely packed together which prevents cool air from easily passing through the case. I know from the pictures I only have positive air pressures. I’ve tried various configurations and this was the one that provided the best cooling in my environment.
