I tried to search on eBay and there's lots of Dell parts but none in usable form. ie drive backplane with no frame to hold the drives in place or a nonstandard board that doesn't fit in common PC cases.

I want to build a quick NAS server, It won't be in any form of RAID or JBOD, just a bunch of individual drives.

Is there a computer case name I need to search by or a common part name that is a fully ready to use backplate and frame. Also drop name if there's a site better than eBay for used computer part.

Also on a few eBay listing for IBM backplane, I've seen has a connector that seems to be about the size of a stick of gum and has like 100 pins and 2 huge metal pins. My SAS connector sheet doesn't have that one listed.
