Finally got parts in and did a little electronics origami.
In case anyone is interested, my parts list are at the top of my GitHub how-to (work in progress as I proceed with software setup). The plan is to run OMV with MergerFS and SnapRAID. Primary use will be for over the network TimeMachine backups and as a FileServer for my Plex server. I was trying to keep the cost to build it low but make it clean. It is a personal home project for fun. https://github.com/seanwo/how-to/blob/master/pinas/pinas.md

Basically, I am just routing the cables out into back of the project box to the the top bay of a cheap 5 bay enclosure. I am routing the Front Fan, USB, HDMI, Networking, SATA, and Drive power to/from the project box/drive enclosure:
Here is a shot from all angles of the finished project:
Fun build!
