> 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 hourThe case is built well. The bays for the drives and fans are removable for easy installation of drives and fans. The included fans plug into the power supply. You need to buy fans that plug into a motherboard if you want to go that route. Power supply is not included. Regular/Standard ATX power supply fits. MATX motherboard fits well with a little space between it and the drive bays and power supply. Not sure if you could fit 4 HDD drives. But you could probably fit 4 SSD drives. I am using Nvme drives. The case mounted on my rack case with standard wholes and screws.

> 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.

> 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 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 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 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 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 hourI put an i5-13400 with a Noctua NH-L12 ghost edition and a micro-ATX motherboard with 64GB DDR5-SDRAM and a 10G Intel X550 NIC. Itll be a virtualization box running low speed services and running memtest86 with the CPU turbo disabled the processor temp after 22 minutes is 57C. Im a big fan of this case and it fits on a short server rack shelf nicely. The chances of you getting four 3.5 drives and a micro-ATX motherboard. I have attempted that in the past with a slightly longer case than this and it was very difficult. If you want 4 drives and micro-ATX you might be able to put the 3.5 drives into 5.25 adapters and shift them to the opposite side. Or if you go with 2.5 SSDs and clever adapters you might be able to get quite a few in. Or just load up the PCIe and M.2 slots with NVMe drives and ditch the drive bays completely (keep reading to find out why this isnt possible easily with the 5.25 bays) If the manufacture is reading some ideas for improvements: 1) The outer case screws are difficult to center so maybe changing the drilling may help 2) I didnt plan to have any drives besides a M.2 on the motherboard. So I removed the 3.5 drive bays easily but was surprised that 5.25 bay covers were mounted to the 5.25 bay cage. Maybe you have a different SKU I should have purchased but if not it would be great to offer some way to remove the 5.25 cage but retain a front cover (maybe a fan replacement for the dual 5.25 slots) would be great. 3) Instructions including rail kits supported would help. I see its drilled for rails but given my track record with rails I dont like to guess my way through getting the correct rails.
