United KingdomGreat chassis plenty of room, look good for the client and a good price Very happy with chassis and supplier x-case Dean
United KingdomFirstly the product overall is very well laid out and easy to work with. I swapped the 8020 fans for some Noctua ones I had lying around and thermals are great... HOWEVER if you are buying this for the HDD capacity and own a sandard-size Micro ATX motherboard, think again. Kitted out with an m-atx motherboard it is not possible to mount all 9 HDDs into the drive cages. There is 1mm clearance between the drives when mounted and the edge of a standard-sized board, making it impossible to insert the SATA/power connectors to the drives. Even 7 was a squeeze as the ATX power cable interfereswith one drive's drive's ports. I've decided not to return the case as I don't need all 9 drives in operation and foresee swapping out some parts anyway, but this was a real disappointment. @XCase I recommend you confirm this and add a caveat to your description. Other than that, this case is nicely designed with the fans up front and the drive cages being well built.
ItalyGood value IPC case. I bought this case to build a new pfsense server based on 10 Gbit networking. My main concern was cooling since I am using Chelsio T520CR cards which run hot. Along with etc 3 well placed centrally mounted 80mm fans, and since I didn’t need any HD or SSD as I use satadom, I retained the central HD cage as a mounting frame for a couple of high power 80mm fans to force air through onto the cards which I should say I also replaced heatsinks with fansinks from cool innovations. I think for a compact 2U case the quality is really good with a nice professional facia and overall pretty very good value for money. The only thing I had to accommodate with extra cabling was an extension to the Mb power cables since the PSU sits in the right fo the motherboard and most server boards will have the connectors on the left (I use Supermicro micro-ATX Xeon boards). Once gain though, I was able to very neatly flatten these out and fix under the central HD cage which had the high power fans I needed. So all in all, I was able to build a high quality system with good air flow and cooling for some quite ht running components. I would buy this case again.
