AUDHEID K7 8 Bay NAS Case, Computer Enclosures Compatible Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Motherboard, 3 x Fans, 8 x 2.5/3.5" Tray, Network Attached Storage Server for Home(Diskless)

Q: Does this include power supply? if not, what type of psu should i search for?

It does not include a power supply. You need a Flex ATX power supply. Be aware -- the power supply mounts on the opposite side of where most mainboard 20/24 pin and 4/8 pin 12v connectors are, so you'll need to make sure you pick a power supply with long cables, or purchase an extension kit (like I did) at the same time.

Q: Is there a fan to cool the drive bays? Or room to mount one to blow air across them? I’m concerned the backplane will be in the way.

Flow isn't going to be a problem because of the back plate. It mostly depends how thick your drives are. I can feel airflow when the machine is on.

Q: Does te backplane support SAS?

the backplane does accept sas drives but the connectors on the rear of the backplane are sata so you need a sas to sata breakout cable for your raid card.

Q: Why is there IDE connector in the case?

The IDE is to supply the power to the SATA board. Instead of SATA power cords go to 8 SATA hot swap HDD case.
