What is your top case pick for a NAS build? Preferrably, something with swappable drive trays.

Got a price range? Desktop or Rackmount? There is a lot of criteria for NAS, and a very broad price range. How much storage are you looking to have?

I don't think that it's what you're asking about, but I just went with a Synology DS-918+. Much smaller footprint. I mean, by the time you buy a motherboard, CPU, RAM and a PSU, unless you already have some or all of these already.
