I am using refurbished PowerEdge T430 with UnRAID. Using it to run bunch of VMS, Docker and NFS/SMB shares.

Getting official cases are hard In India, I am planning to build my nas in a plastic box with fans on 2 ends.
And if you have the harddrives all you will need is usb 3 or sata extension / powered usb hub and fans + heatsinks to keep raspberry cool.
