Im in the market for a NAS solution. By NAS I don't mean running Jellyfin and some homepage thing for vibes, I mean your old-style "it just provides network attached storage".

I love the Jonsbo cases but I don't want to drop as much coin as building out a NAS based on one of them entails. I'm looking for an older office/home/gaming PC or case that has room for atleatst 4 3.5" HDD’s. Something around ten years old with maybe an i5 7th+ gen CPU. I don't need hardware RAID as I prefer ZFS anyway.

Ideas?

My NAS is in a node 304 case from fractal design and I can recommend it.

The 304 is mini-ITX/DTX with space for 6 drives.

There is a bigger version for bigger motherboards and more drives, which I would assume is just as good as mine.
