Overall it looks like a good BOM but I’m curious why you’re only using 2 drives. Probably should get at least one more for parity.

i would not go that route because I wouldn’t want to mess around with the power buttons and fan connectors from the dell.

in addition I’d rather have a case with more drive bays if going for a possible storage array.
