## Description

Product description

Review: It's not perfect, but it's still awesome. - Let's get the bad out of the way first: 1. Included fans are crap. I would prefer a slightly cheaper price and no fans so I don't feel like I'm throwing away new stuff right out of the box. 2. The security faceplate isn't perforated. Again, take it off and toss it. Why not make it perforated? I guess if you are worried about someone hitting the reset or power buttons. But come on, it's a rack mount, the rack and the room should be secure. Just as easy for someone to pull the plug... Minor annoyances: 1. The hard drive cages. Just no. If you are going to put them there and use them, have as little metal as possible. Luckily NVME SSDs are a thing, and the boards I'm using have 2 NVME slots. 2. The plastic motherboard insulator sheets. I had to trim one right at the cutout holes so it would even fit. Fixable yes, annoying to have to do, YES. 3. No cable tiedowns for cable management. With that out of the way, this is still an awesome chassis/case and worth 5 stars. 2 ITX systems in a 2U form factor. Yes thank you very much. I'm running dual Minisforum BD795i SE boards. I replaced the 80mm fans with Arctic 5000RPM (P8 Max). I used Arctic P12 Pro fans for the CPU coolers. Quiet? Not at all. It's a server... Pros: 1. Dual ITX in a single 2U rackspace 2. USB3 on the front. 1 USB-C, which is kind of an odd choice, but meh. I wasn't going to use it anyway. 3. If you take out the drive cages, there's hardly any restriction to airflow from the front fans. 4. It's made of an adequate gauge steel. Not too flimsy, not overbuilt. Just right IMO. 5. Components fit correctly. The Flex ATX PSUs fit, the Mini-ITX boards fit. Just like they should. 6. Finish was flawless, and I must admit it does look slick with the security faceplate. But I need that airflow. Final thoughts: This is a niche product for sure. You have to have a plan to utilize this case. But that's how it is with Mini ITX and stuffing things into small spaces. If you have the right plan for this case, it's amazing. It does exactly what I want it to do and functionally does it very well. I will likely build another one in the future.
Review: This is hard to build in, but patience helps - Ultimately, this is a perfectly functional chassis, and for what I've been able to find the only one of it's type that's easily obtainable and not wildly expensive, but it is bordering on needlessly complicated to build in. My goal is dual Proxmox Backup Servers in one 2U chassis. Loads will be super light on it, I'm just picky about having IPMI on devices like this. While not ideal for this chassis, for this goal spinning rust makes the most sense, so while I agree with others that removing the HDD bracket is ideal, not for my use case. I'm not too concerned with temperatures, but I haven't fired it up yet to see (got a long weekend in front of me for testing, and still waiting for the rack rails) My notes: - The plastic sheets that are supposed to go under the motherboard are not cut correctly and I basically just had to remove them entirely. Unless you're routing something under the mobo the standoffs should provide enough of an airgap to not worry about shorting something. - Considering how many screws are included to hold the chassis together, the included screws are lacking. I used all but 1 just mounting the 4 HDD's with 4 screws each. - The power supply bracket fits, but not well, the Apevia ITX-PFC400W PSUs I got to go with this. Specifically, the standard PSU screws the Apevia included are too big and bend the bracket out of shape. Luckily I had extras that fit. - Speaking of the bracket bending, the chassis is fairly weak/thin steel. Not the worst thing in the world, but noticeable - Many edges are not deburred/rolled, so there are sharp edges - There's very little room for cables, even when using short cables, right angled connectors, etc. It's manageable, but I'm concerned about airflow - This isn't strictly a problem with the chassis, but the Xeon-D mobos I'm using don't have USB3.0 headers... and the included cables are so long I don't want to use a 3.0 to 2.0 header adapter as well, but you can't remove the USB3 ports. At least, when I tried, it felt like I was going to break the PCB the buttons and LEDs are also on. The USB-C plug is easily removed, though. I decided I don't care that much and just clipped the USB3 header cables off, might as well give myself what cable management room back that I can - I don't trust the included fans (they're probably mostly fine, but I wanted something nicer), and swapping them wasn't difficult, but it did make me notice... the foam included as an air filter is held in place with a bracket, and removing the bracket... the foam is just loose in there. When it needs to be cleaned it's gonna be tedious. - The front of the chassis has inlets on the underside, but otherwise there's no inlets for the front fans... the only place to put fans without further modification. I suspect most people will be building relatively gentle systems in this, low TDPs and whatnot, so it might not be too big of a deal, but I'm definitely going to be monitoring system temps for a while. As others said, if you will be building something more power hungry, don't expect to use the HDD bracket, upgrade the fans, maybe find/3D print some airflow guides, etc. - There is plenty of room around the HDDs themselves I'm not too worried about their cooling, but the brackets are more solid than I'd like and the orientation means it'll be blocking a lot of airflow. The point of this is the HDD brackets in my situation, so we'll just have to see how it goes. - To further harp on the HDD bracket design: You have to remove the bracket to install the HDDs, which I get, but I'd highly suggest plugging the cables in first, however... if you plug the bottom SATA power in you won't be able to screw in one screw to re-mount the bracket. In the second picture you can see it more clearly, but I had to spin the bracket in mine so I could plug in my 8 inch SATA data cables, but due to the lack of space on this side I couldn't possibly plug the SATA power in after the bracket went back in. If I used longer cables I could have both HDDs cables pointing towards the middle and it would work, but doing this also freed up space in that middle gap between the brackets... it's a tough call. - I want to give credit for it being a sleek, nice looking chassis, but I find that difficult because it has gaps at almost any panel meeting point that vary every time I adjust a panel. It's... fine, I guess, but I notice them. With patience I think I did a decent job putting it all together, though. I think if this was designed to be a bit longer, maybe 18-20" deep, it'd be a lot easier to work with. Even with all my complaining I'm only gonna knock off one star. For under $200, I have 2 machines in 2RU.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nifty case, exactly what I needed.
*by B***N on July 16, 2024*

Exactly what I was looking for. Surprised how well it’s working so far. Wanted to include a picture of just 1 system installed to best show what a PCIE riser looks like. I bought a HAOYEXIN PCIE 3.0 riser 15CM. 15cm is way too much (probably 5cm would be perfect) but the only 5cm one I could find was 2x the price of the HAOYEXIN. Make sure you get a reversed riser. Easily (well, bit of force) able to bend the excess riser cable into folds so I could get the PCIE card installed at the right height. Figured $20 was worth the gamble. My Quadro P2200 is a bit long so had to remove the hard drive tray, but I don’t need them. If anyone needs compatible parts here’s what I bought— Power: Apevia ITX Power Series model itx-pfc500w CPU fan: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 Great case so far, no complaints, no instructions (but not like you need them) 4 tiny side screws to get the top off (once you figure out which side is the top).
