EATX NAS/server case suggestions

I’ve been self hosting a few services on a raspberry pi-based NAS and decided I was ready to up my game. I got on eBay and found myself a decent deal on an old Supermicro dual-cpu board with an EATX form factor. Now I need a case for it.

I could rack mount it, but I’d rather have it be a standalone. I also have several HDDs in a RAID for storage, and would love something that has room for those internally. I was going to get a Darkrock Classico Max, but figured out it won’t fit an EATX board without removing the HDD cages.

Do I’m wondering: anyone out there have a recommendation for a good EATX case with ample HDD space? Anyone else got a setup like this you are happy with?

When I built my rackmount NAS and Personal PC, I went with cases from Sliger. Really good build quality but can be a little pricey.

This is the one I used for my NAS.
