The link in the original video is where I got it from. Your best bet is to search the part number and see if you find a result.

I did. OEM replacement. No issues since.

This was actually one of the main deciding factors for me when I was comparing available boxes at the time (Icon and Masterforce @ Menards were the other two in consideration).

Thanks! It's been happily chugging away ever since I put it together! I couldn't be happier with it.

Google 4EyeC5. They're unfortunately not being made anymore.

Didn't. Wouldn't have worked like this due to size. It's got an SFX PSU in it.

It's in the description of the vid I did right after I finished putting it together. th-cam.com/video/WFuIY6ayF8s/w-d-xo.html

I love it. It's literally been zero maintenance since I deployed it. I just have to remote in once in a while and clear out take a peek at things but it's been rock solid. The only thing I may change is potentially adding a small fan via 3d bracket to the RAID Controller as it runs about 50*C all the time.

No worries. The cat gets much love from everyone in the house.

Thought I had a link up, guess I didn't. Look on ebay under item number 325301487185. I have two sets of the 4 drive brackets in black as seen in the vid.

@@TT99C5 and how that is mounted to the case? lets say I need 4 drives only ...

No idea on this one unfortunately.

Thanks!!! It wasn't so much a large cooler decision as it was a decision that was going to be conducive to cooling and overall airflow through the case. By using the tower cooler I'm helping supplement airflow by pulling across the drives and feeding the rear exhaust fan. If I'd have gone low profile I'd have lost that and caused a stagnant pocket in the center of the case.

Does yours have a hutch I can’t find a video one of of them?

@@mfrank50no I don't have one I don't like their hutch setup. Search "extreme tools rx 72 inch tool box hutch" on TH-cam rockin tool boxes has a video talking about extreme tools hutch. I myself would probably get the icon or us general hutch.

Well, I moved the PSU to accommodate the build really. I knew using an SFX PSU would open up some space but I wanted to cut down clutter also. I figured out by rotating and mounting to the front of the chassis I could point the connectors directly at the motherboard thus shortening the amount of cables running around. All PSU cables were made by yours truly. No GPU is used in the build as my RAID controller card is occupying the sole PCIE slot. Full parts list: pcpartpicker.com/list/j8QNgB The HDD stand and brackets should be linked in my original comment on the vid.

@@TT99C5 OMG thank you! Another question, how did you manage to get so many sata ports as your motherboard only has 4 SAtA (if my eyes are seeing right).

@@jimindetran6163 So I'm not using the SATA ports at all, I even turned off the SATA controller on the motherboard to save power consumption. The HDD's are all attached to the RAID controller. It's a Dell Perc H730 controller so I'm using 2 breakout cables with 4 connectors each as seen here: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GPD5KFK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title The drives I used are SAS drives but you can get breakout cables for SATA drives also.

​@@TT99C5thank you sir!

Another question, does your H730 get hot?

Fair Question. Dollar for dollar I'd absolutely recommend this over a truck box. At the end of the day it's a box your tools get stored in. Doesn't need to cost $7-10K or more. This is even pushing it's cost limit at this point given I purchased in 2021 for $2400 and it's at $3600 now. Having had my hands on various Snap On's including some Epiq's and plenty of other truck boxes, there's really no reason to recommend a truck box unless it's some unique thing that you absolutely must have. This box feels every bit the same as an Epiq or a Matco 6S.

I think you're missing the point of builds like this and what people use the Node 304 for. Nobody is shoving top end high TDP processors in these and trying to eek out all the performance they can. They're building in this case for HTPC, NAS, small server setups. This case was designed to be a quiet efficient M-ITX case and it does exactly that, with or without the mods I've done. You want a case to hold 2" fans and support top end processors, this isn't it, and this doesn't need to support that. I think the reviewers have far more understanding and appreciation for this than you do, which makes me wonder why you even bothered to comment given the negative nature of it.

You had me pulling my proverbial hair out. I've watched this over and over thinking "where's the cat and how did I miss paying the cat tax?!?!?!" Then I heard it towards then end. I'll pay the cat tax with the next vid I swear!

@@TT99C5 lol

He modified it, the 304 normally runs 6 on their side with an ATX psu, but he put in a sfx and stcked them 4x2. Theres easier off the shelf stuff, like the silverstone ds380... if thats still relevant to u ...

Thanks.......but how is it a fire hazard?

@@TT99C5 In the worst case scenario , what if the sata/power cable overheats for being in such a close proximity with the other hard-drives that it catches fire ?

@@Daggerhead69 I mean you can what if any build. But there's plenty of builds out there with tighter tolerances and far less optimal power cables (molex to SATA anyone?) that aren't burning down. Just my $.02 but my build is no more of a fire hazard than any other custom build, and probably less so given the lack of over length cables being stuffed and tucked to be hidden for presentation. At least with mine what you see is it, there's not half a meter of cables hiding just out of sight being pinched and who knows what.

Also, say hi to the cat 😻

It was a much better deal when it was 2/3 the current price back when I bought it, but it's still an excellent option if someone is looking.
