> 24 hourIf you are looking for one of the smallest 2U form factor cases for rack mounting. This is probably one of the best you can get for the price (~$100 at time of writing). Understand that it does come with 4 slots to fit 3.5 hard drives, but if you are running mATX, there is really only room for 2 at the highest point or you run into space issues. Dont expect to run 3 or 4 hard drives in here with mATX. If you use mini-iTX, you will have no issues filling all 4 slots. It is a 15 depth 2U form-factor, so the build space is very limited, but you will get the same experience in any case with that depth. Very precise cable mounting is necessary with this case, so if you are not ready to struggle a bit to route cabling in the case (especially with mATX), then you may want to go for a 17 depth or more.

> 24 hourThis is a nice solid case. I used this to transfer my old tower server to my new rack. Worked great with my ITX motherboard and plenty of room for a standard ATX power supply. Would recommend.

> 24 hourCase arrived packed well and included a variety of screws, one 2.5 drive adapter and all the basics described and pictured. The four internal drive bays are a good idea, but in a case this short I dont believe you could mount four 3.5 drives without interfering with the board. I have one 3.5 drive mounted high and a 2.5 SSD low, so four 2.5 drives may work. My purpose was transferring a desktop PC to a 2U rackmount and this case fit my needs perfectly. I feel this is a solid rack mount case and a good value for anyone in the market for a 2U case to transfer to or build a new machine in. I would buy another if I needed one.

> 24 hourThis rackmount case seems sturdy, and well built especially considering the price point. I havent started my build yet but it appears there is plenty of room for what I am doing. Will update after build is complete.

> 24 hourNice and heavy steel sides and top. Lots of drive bays, yes I know 6 isnt lots in some cases. But it will be a great case for a home lab. It even includes an adapter for a 2.5 drive. Im looking forward to setting it up as my game server case.

> 24 hourI really like this ATX Rackmount Server Case. I used this product to manufacture a new server for my VMware Virtual Private Data Center. This case is top notch and matches ATX specs.

> 24 hourUsed this to build a server in a server room. It allowed me to use a PSU with a fan which is what I was looking for. The only thing I wish was different is that the 5.25 bay cover wasnt connected to the tray. I would have like to remove the drive tray, but that wasnt really possible.

> 24 hourI had been looking a case to create a server that I could use personally. This case fit perfectly. It filled certain specs that I needed. One being size. For what I need it for I dont want something bulky or something that weights a ton. I also want to run a Micro ATX board, so I dont need a bunch of load fans like most servers. Im not adding a ton of add-on cards, so four slot is more than enough. No need for fancy lights, Power On and HDD is enough. This case gives me four 3.5 slots for hard drives. But since I am using a drives sled (an outside multi drive rack), I only need one slot for the drive that I am running the OS.

> 24 hourIve only one complaint with this, and its that it doesnt come with thumb screws to get the case top off and on. Which is a minor quibble. Everything else on this seems to be real solid. Its easy to work with. Fans are on a four-pin Molex connector, so make sure your power supply has one of those.
