Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

The main board seems to be a custom form factor, not sure you could fit an ITX board in there, and you'll need a PCI-E slot to connect the SATA expansion card.

I think you're right, it measures 200x145x15mm with 2 PCIe slots at right angles connecting to the backplane. I'd had it taken apart for so long I hadn't considered the height. I was also wrong about the model# it was an 1815, now that I look at the mobo. I guess I could re-purpose the case for something else. I appreciate the reply, looks like I'm going hunting for a similar form factor case this weekend
