Overall great server chassis

It's a great case. The hot swap bays are difficult to slide, but they work well and feel secure once they’re in place. Detailing where each case cable goes in the mobo may be helpful, but it's not specified.Overall, this is a great case. I will most likely order again for my backup server.

A solid choice

Overall I'd recommend and say it's a solid 4 star. There is no documentation. what you see in the picture is what you get. With that stated, the case is of solid construct. I got the suggested 20" rails too.What I like:-Solid and sturdy metal case-Top lid opens up by using 4 small screws and is sturdy-Plenty of bolts to spare-visually appealing-ATX Motherboard mounted fine-PSU mounted fine-Rails are sturdy and glide well-No screws needed for the hotswap trays. You angle in one side of the drive and then push in the other side to lock.- It has 8 Hotswap drives but also a mount bracket inside to mount a drive inside (OS maybe). Guessing you could also mount an internal cage.The hotswap drive backplane only needs 2 - 4 prong power.What made it rough to 5 star this-The fans are loud and sound like when you're in a jet cabin about to take off. They go about 3600rpm all the time and are rated for 5k. I tweaked the bios to slow them down, thus drop the noise. Ended up disconnecting one of the 3 until I can change this up.-The fan bracket has side slots to pass wires to the drives. Problem is it's a very narrow width. The ends of my power cables for the drives wouldn't pass through. You can unscrew the fan wall from the case, but kind of a pain.-There is nothing auto locking with the rails. I found the best way is to remove the 2 screws holding the front and back mounting plates with the feet. Then each foot plate, remove the little plates on the the ends that have 2 screws. 2 for front and 2 for pack. Then place the little plate in the front of your rack and place the longer foot on the other side and use the screws to screw them in. Once the front and back feet are in, you can screw back in the sliding part.-The hotswap trays are not durable. The lever could easily break so don't pry but wiggle and tease. When inserting the drive, I found if you kind of throw the drive in while sliding, it connects to where less pressure is placed on the arm.-The sata to minisas cables provided should be longer by 15cm. They barely made it to my board. Guessing other boards may have issues. They were also very rigid and not insulated like most I've seen. They do work as they recognized the 4 sata drives.-A little sad they didn't provide minisas cables and focused on sata drives. Waiting on cable to test sas drives.-Depending on your PSU, you may need extensions to reach the front pane.It seems the manufacturer is from china named daohe.Again, would recommend product as other chassis like this can be junk.

Great Server Chassis

This is a great case for anyone looking to build a Plex Media server. I appreciate that it came with hot swappable fans. In my case, they required too much energy to run with my motherboard; however, you can remove them and use your own. Also, the rear I/O shield does not have easily removable plates. You have to remove them with a pair of pliers. Also, this will fit your over-sized graphics card with just enough head room for the power cables.

Terrible Case

I only have two complaints about this chasis, it doesn't come with any documentation, so it's good I have a computer science degree and know what I'm doing.The fans are cheap and WAY TOO LOUD. When I say loud, when I turn it on I had a news broadcast playing on my phone right next to me, and the fans were so loud, I couldn't hear the broadcast. I've racked and stacked in data centers and an entire rack full of beast servers aren't this loud, combined.I have a dell enterprise server with the same type of specs, 8 bay drives, and I have it full. It has 4 fans and it's 75% quieter. So if you buy this case, be prepared to replace the fans. That's what I did. I had to spend an additional 80 dollars for good fans that are quiet and slower, but I have no heat issues and they are now quieter than my dell.So in the end this cost me about $400, which I think is too much, but other than those two complaints, it's a solidly built case.EDIT: I'm changing my rating to one star. This case does not fit in a rack. My rack opening is 19 and 1/16 inch, which is standard. This from handles from end to end is about 1/32 longer and this will not push all the way into the rack.so all in all, the fans are terrible, it won't fit in a rack, so basically, I wasted a ton of money for nothing.

Good Deep Case

Great server case that fits in 4U space. I got this case to replace an older case that did not have hot swap drive bays. I love this case. Just do not try to install this into a shallow rack as the case is 27" deep. That aside this looks great and is a great value. Definitely recommend this case .

Good space, lacking common features.

This chassis offers an incredible amount of space for your setup and for the most part seems to be good quality. The downsides to this case are that the hot swap drive cages feel extremely cheap and flimsy and I don't expect them to last long. Additionally the fans are extremely loud and the top cover has to be removed with screws instead of latches like most other server chassis.

Acceptable, but lacks documentation and the fans are *loud*

I am lucky that I keep my servers in the basement, because the fans on this thing are VERY loud. The other shocking thing is that it comes with no manual or other documentation of any kind, either in the box or on any related website that I searched. It is very good that I have experience with systems like this and just kinda generally knew what to do, otherwise this would have been much more difficult.Another problem is that the SATA to SAS cables that come with this thing may not be long enough depending on your motherboard. Please make sure you check the length of those cables and where the SAS connector is on your motherboard, otherwise your server build might not work for a very stupid reason.With that out the way, however, there are a bunch of things I liked about it:- I love that the fans are hot-swappable, which means I can add quieter fans eventually.- The case is sufficiently large to even fit oversized graphics cards, which is cool for media conversion and other GPU-intensive tasks.- HDD trays do not need screws- Worked great with an ATX motherboard- Generally solid case, physically speaking, no issues in terms of sturdiness
