Hello everybody,

I recently purchased some parts for my first homeserver, but I am not really happy with the case, because it just a tremendous waste of space.

I am running an ASRock N100M micro-ATX with two Sata SSDs and one PCIe x1 NIC and Pico PSU to power it. So I am looking for a minimal/small case to fit exactly this.

What I find usually has no accommodation for PCIe cards, or wastes 50% of its space for a full ATX PSU and an optical drive tray... or it just cost more then the whole PC together. Since it is such a minimal setup I am hoping to pay the lower end of case prices (~30-50euro).

Does somebody here has an idea?

Best wishes

Look into PICO PSU. Its a small powersupply that uses a power brick to downsize internals. It's used by homelabbers sometimes.

OP is already using one based on the post text.
