Cases

Primarily two things to consider - motherboard and material

Motherboard - I am aiming for a micro ATX assuming all other requirements can be safely fulfilled without overheating.

Design - preferably a cube design acrylic case though I am not sure I would like to see the innards of my server every day. Definitely nothing fancy with lights and all - the aim is  to consume low power not to add disco lights.

Some MicroATX cases with 120mm fans that I liked are
