Protective cabinet for QNAP?
At an office where I am the admin of a QNAP (model 1685*) there was a sprinkler that went rogue on another part of the floor and did water damage. Even though we have a back up unit on a different floor my colleagues are asking if there’s any kind of cabinet we might put this NAS in that would offer a degree of environmental protection. I’m kind of skeptical but I want to exercise due diligence and ask around. Thanks in advance for any advise.

Google will find you lots of options for cabinets for your computer and hard drives. Just make sure it has adequate ventilation. Years ago our old DS was in a cabinet with a fan on the back to promote airflow. It cut the noise down incredibly well, but it also caused the drives to overheat as the design didn’t include a fan on the front to allow the air to escape. I had to build a new front door and add a fan sucking the air out on the front to solve the problem.
They are typically called server cabinets, but you can get them fairly small.
