Anyone have a case like the following:

?

I already need to replace my server i use for virtualization so why not use a case that allows me future expandability in terms of storage? I will be running proxmox. Maybe i can virtualize unraid &/or truenas scale. They are priced right around $400. Either that or buy one with a old cpu/memory for a temp solution. They case does seem like its built very well

They look like really good cases. My concern probably is power consumption (but i wouldn't think the case would add that much) & of course noise. Granted it will be in the basement but i don't want to hear a rocket engine every time im in the basement (& i'm sure i will get wife complaints).

The other option i'm thinking of is HL15 from 45 drives but then i'm going to be spending a little more than 2x for the case (granted it will be quite a bit quieter).

Opinions?
