Dunno this third party seller but they're selling a Tyan Mini ITX C222 board for $140. It comes only with the absolute bare minimum of goodies on the back, a grand total of one VGA, 2 USB3, and ethernet ports. http://www.amazon.com/Tyan-Computer-S5533gm2nr-S1150-Mini-itx/dp/B00KKSEDYQ http://www.tyan.com/Motherboards_S5533_S5533GM2NR-LE If you want to go even cheaper for ECC you might have to wait to see how Zen pans out.

SFX power supplies are a wasteland, are there any cool slim chassis that don't use those goddamned things

I'm thinking of going with the RVZ01-E since I'd rather shop around for ATX power supplies since it's easier to find a high quality PSU for cheap, and I'd like 4 2.5" slots (OS SSD, game SSD, game HDD, capture HDD) without needing a shorty card, plus I'm moving the optical drive duty to some video recorder box (which will use my current SFF case) anyway, and I'll live with having an unused blu-ray burner drive since I have a better full size one. Anyone have a better suggestion?

cubes are great if you really need to stuff 8 or more drives in the smallest vertical space possible not so much otherwise

The mini itx board that I was going to use for poo poo Box just loving fried, and the PSU died as well. I checked the voltage on the wall socket and it was 145V.  I knew I should have bought a line conditioner.All the other parts made it out okay  if it wasn't a Seasonic everything would have evaporatedI'm not going to shelf the idea of an xbone-sized PC with an actual GPU but it'll have to wait until I have the scratch to make a mini itx Zen fun box

abigserve posted:Any recommendations for the smallest possible NAS case? 2+ drive bays, no video card required and smaller form factor PSU's could be used. I've been looking around and the fractal node series seem too big for the purpose, ideally I'd like to have it on a shelf above my desk.

alternatively, get a used 1u server and some blower fans

AIBs? depends on the card's TDP, anything below 200w can get a 6 inch version, with some ill-advised exceptions anything below 50w can get a half-height version

If you're gonna be serious about network storage you're better off buying another low-rent board/cpu/ram, an ATX case with tons of drive bays, putting it somewhere with high enough air flow and far enough away from your computing for you not to notice, like a broom closet or something just run an ethernet cable to the router from it to connect it to the LAN.

FreeNAS is a pay-to-play solution, you pay for it in form factor mostly

not at all, especially if they were CXs the low end PSUs i'd suggest are the EVGA B3s, since there's a lot of them and they're from superflower's value line

you're probably better off with a drive toaster preferably one of those horizontal lay-flat ones

the deskmini x600 is going to be amazing as a work pc if you can put a 7900 non-x in it most often you'd stuff an 8600g in it since SODIMM ram speed isn't good enough to fully utilize a 8700g

if you needed a mini with low end hardware and for some reason you don't want a refurb dell or lenovo haswell-to-coffee-lake sff PC, there's the various minis with the n100 (though I'd recommend minisforum for an actual level of support). sure they won't have much in the way of i/o, will likely have only one drive slot and the N100 is hard limited to 16gb of ram, but you're getting 4 ivy-bridge-like cores which is still good enough for office things, if barely sometimes
