Smallest mATX mini-tower for 6xHDD + 2xSSD?

Another option could be the Fractal Design Node 304.

Great chassis, if you like the "cuboidal" style of case.

Lian Li PC-Q25B - Nearly perfect except Mini-ITX only, so I couldn't use my existing motherboard.

Since you've mentioned the LianLi PC-Q25B: There's a mATX version of that case, though it it only offers 5x 3.5" drive mounts, you'd be probably able to mount one or two drives at the bottom. It's called the "PC-M25B".

The Chyag Fun CFI-A5000 seemed to me the ideal case for a NAS in a small tower form factor (although fans side-on to the hot-swap trays could present a cooling problem as per the DS380) but I could never find anyone that sold them. Plenty of people using the mITX 4-bay chassis though, which is a solid enough bit of kit.
