PSU and case for HDD only

Hello,
I would like to put several hdd in a dedicated external case.

I need some suggestions on a little case ( I do not want to waste space) with
space for hdd, a 12cm fan and a psu.

BTW: which psu can I buy? I need 50-100 watt max, perhaps a fanless one is what I need. A redundant psu would be very nice but I suppose that silent is incompatible with redundant.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for replies!

Pico psu ?

Yes pico psu is a good idea.
But I am interested to know some alternatives. Because my project need only hdd I do not know if there is something more specific.

Also finding a small hdd only case is a problem , I do not want to waste space!

Thank for the suggestion!

does the case your looking for need space for a motherboard or anything else? or just a power supply and a hard drive?

No I need only space for several (4 or

hard disks and (standard atx?) power supply. No motherboard.

you might just want to gather your components and lay them out on a table and figure out how you want to arrange them and make your own box, either out of wood or plastic, or PVC board.

that's what I did, not hard to do and can't beat the cost!
