I am actually looking for a ventilated box for my equipment. But that doesn't seem to be available. Is there room for an HDD, a Synology NAS and router in this enclosure? And a small power supply for the fans

If you take out all the hard drive cages, you already have a pretty big space in the enclosure. What kind of NAS is it? I meant a 2Bay NAS with a smaller router could fit. Cooling shouldn't be a problem either, the enclosure is really super ventilated. I currently have 5 WD Velociraptor HDDs at 10'000Rpm, an SSD, a motherboard with Core i3 CPU and a PCIe RAID controller plus a 300Watt power supply in this enclosure and all temperatures are perfectly fine. With the router, however, you should definitely lead the WLAN antennas out of the case. Otherwise, the metal box will shield an extremely large amount of transmission power.

Will an ATX power supply fit in this enclosure?

Yes, I have installed a normal Seasonic G-360 ATX power supply, fits perfectly. However, there is very little space to store the cables, so it is best to buy a power supply with modular cable management. With a bit of fiddling and a lot of cable ties, you can also stow the cables from a non-modular power supply.
