Yeah, sorry you're right. So the rails won't fit?

Rack mounting my Silverstone RM400 (alien.top)
 

Hi People ๐Ÿ‘‹

I just got a new open rack on sale. The problem is it's max width is 519mm and the silverstone rails are 570mm..

My case is the RM400 (https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM400/)

Would some like one of these two options work? I would like sliding rails but if not possible it's not the end of the world

What is the most painful step on setting up a homelab in your experience? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

I'll probably beat everyone...living in Australia!..

Super super high electricity bills and finding a small case to build a NAS here... Everything here is practically Apple or off the shelf...people look at you strange for even having a NAS, let alone a DIY NAS.

The only case that just became available here is a Silverstone cs351 unless you're going to spend thousands.

I thought, this is exactly what I wanted... After unpacking it, what do you think I've been doing?

Practically rebuilding the case because it has almost zero air flow...no front fan, and only exhaust fans...and because I'm in Australia, it's almost summer where we get easily over 110f or 40c...

I won't go into the price of things in Australia or having already ordered 2 different cases from different shops for this build and being told it could be a 6 month wait....after I paid for it...
