Building a ~80TB NAS in the Sliger CX3702 10 bay mATX case (Round 2)
Computers Cats and More
Sliger was kind enough to send me the case as a review sample. Had to rebuild because the first motherboard died on me. Second time around went faster since I had a better idea what I was doing. Hopefully this will be the final build. 😅 Specs:
- Sliger CX3702 3U 10 bay mATX NAS case
- Intel Core i5-8400
- GIGABYTE B365M DS3H
- 32GB kit of DDR4
- Perc H310 in IT mode
- Intel X520 DA2
- 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Boot drive)
- 4x 480GB Intel S3500 SSD (Caching)
- 9x 14TB Toshiba MG07SCA14TE SAS drives (Raid Z2 one cold spare)
- Thermaltake C120 ARGB 120MM Fans (Paid $3 extra for them over non-RGB because I was impatient)
- SeaSonic Electronics FOCUS (2021) 750W 80 PLUS Platinum Modular SFX Power Supply
Some things I found to keep in mind when you pick your parts. You will want fans that are high static pressure rated. Avoid motherboards with front facing ports. There isn't enough clearance for them unless you get right angle adapters. Building from the bottom up will make things easier. I chose chaos making cable routing harder than it should have been. Also the front power button cable is a tight squeeze but works fine if you go diagonally. That should probably be the first thing you plug in when you reinstall the motherboard tray.
I will be doing more videos on this still. Gotta configure it for its intended purpose. Also want to compare it to some other popular cases.
