Question 1

I'm considering building an ITX home server in this case, in which I'd want RAID redundancy, would it be possible to somehow cram a second 3.5" hard drive in here?  I'm thinking perhaps adhered in the CD drive area? I'd be willing to take a Dremel to it if need be. Thanks!

No you cant. there is no space in that area for a 3.5 inch hard drive. I would highly encourage you to get two laptop sized hard drives for redundant raid configs.  this is for two major reasons. the first reason is airflow as its inline with the main vent fan you dont want to block the airflow. the second is a laptop sized HDD i guarantee will fit up top in the cd tray area.

ideally id go with SSD's because they are fast, quiet and put off no heat and work well in small spaces like this.

I have two laptop HDD's in mine one below and one above the cd area i used to have one 3.5 below the drive but it was causing airflow issues.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

I looked at the underside of my case to be sure. There are no holes for a vesa mount. The underside is all solid. Hope this helps.
