Hello everyone,I have search since 2 days for a 4U chassis with 24+ bays under $200 shipped,it is possible to do that?
I have make a server with many disk for my plex and backup-backup,currently I use a tower case but no more space for disk
I find some on Alibaba but shipping is $400 lol,not good
Someone have a good experience with used server chassis? I am in EU if it is help
Mdr I know my budget is low but I am french,we like cheap thing 😅

Its 2024 and chassis still ship without IPv6 management interfaces
CGNAT is abuse, your plex remote access breaks because of IPv4 exhaustion, not because of the hardware
Find a seller with IPv6-enabled storefront, its $CURRENT_YEAR, no excuse
The real treasure hunt is for providers who give you a /56 on dedicated, not this chassis nonsense

I found a listing on Alibaba for 4U 24-bay chassis at $178 with shipping to EU. The seller is in Shenzhen, responds slowly but ships DDP.
I bought two for my lab in Osaka last year. Build quality is acceptable, backplane is SAS2, no expander. Rails included but thin.
I can share seller contact if helpful. No IPv6 on management, I may be wrong but this seems normal for bare hardware.
YABS on my $3 HostHatch VPS:
Beats your $200 chassis with zero drives
My €10 Leaseweb storage box gets 890 MB/s sequential, costs less than your empty case + shipping
Real numbers, real performance, stop hunting garbage
What backplane does your plex box need, sata or sas
