Dell Wyse 5070 Low power NAS

This project is a 3D-printed NAS enclosure designed to combine a Dell Wyse 5070 thin client, a SATA HDD cage, and all required power and control electronics into one clean, compact housing.

The case was created for an ultra-low-power Unraid NAS intended for 24/7 operation in a living environment.

Designed to hold:

• Dell Wyse 5070
• 3.5″ / 2.5″ SATA HDD cage
• DC-to-SATA power adapters
• Fan controller and cabling

Project goals:

• <10 W idle power consumption
• No ATX power supply
• Quiet operation with Noctua cooling
• Clean, “store-bought” appearance
• Reliable off-site backup NAS

The enclosure has been tested in a real 24/7 setup running Unraid, Home Assistant, and Jellyfin.
