Cases comparable to the Fractal Design Node 304?

[Carson Dyle]

Just wondering if anything comparable to the Fractal Design Node 304 has appeared on the market recently. Something in which to build a small NAS-like file server.

Need:
- Mini-ITX size
- six or more 3.5" drive bays
- no 5.25" drive bays
- room for small ATX power supply

The Node 304 isn't bad, just a bit cramped once you fill it with drives and have to route cables.

It's not a recent case but seems to fit the bill: Lian Li PC-Q08B (6 x 3.5", no 5.25", ATX PSU).

Personally, if I had need for so many hard drives, I'd just build in microATX. A mini-ITX case with so many bays is not going to be very small anyway, and it's a bit easier when you don't have to stuff everything in.
