Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I currently have the Ncase M2, since I prefer air cooling. I don't have a pic of the PC in the M2, but here it is in the Cooler Master NR200:
I had a storage server (NAS) even before I went the SFF route, so there was little to sacrifice. Too bad the server wouldn't fit in a nice SFF case.
I haven't gotten around to putting it together yet, but that's what my ISK-600 is going to become. Believe it or not, that thing can hold 3 3.5" drives and two 2.5" drives (or a slim optical drive, but nobody uses those anymore).
Nice, hope you'll have fun building and deploying your server.
Cases like NR200 would also fit a few 3.5" drives, but the reason I couldn't fit my current server into a SFF-ish case is that the mobo is mATX and I have all PCIe slots full. Most of the SFF cases (even if they fit mATX) not enough space for my PCIe needs.
I could upgrade to a built-in NVMe and SFP+ (or downgrade to 2.5GbE), but I don't want to spend that kind of money just to save some space I don't really need to save.
