Hi I got a very specific recommendation request:

I would like to build a fanless rackmount NAS for my homelab. Fanless because I am sleeping next to it. So to achieve that I don't want any moving part, hence SSDs and fanless cooling. Rackmount So I can neatly store it in my rack. Ideally I want to run Truenas on it and be not fendor restricted so I cam expand and modify it myself. So I thought about getting a maybe 2U maybe higher case. But here starts my trouble: I want it to support at least 6 external drives and consumer tower PSU because industrial server PSU are not build to be silend. I hope you guys can follow me.

TL;DR: I need a 2U rackmount case with 6+ (4+) external drives and supporting consumer PSU (fanless Design) for a NAS. No pre-build or at least easy modifiable.

Please ask any questions or ask for any infos you need :) Thank you for your time.

Those machines have a fan at the bottom of the case.
