Lots of drive bays
5 Stars
Lots of drive bays
I needed a case for my file server that could fit more hard drives without being massive. I read a few reviews and one mentioned this case. I bought one and I love it so far after installing everything and using it for a week.Things I like about this case:* Eight 3.5" drive bays* Two 2.5" SSD mounts - fairly standard for a case this size* Plenty of fan mounts - two in front, one in back, 0-3 on top (remove plates to mount fans) and even one on the size.* Fit and finish is good. No sharp edges. Everything seems to fit together snugly. No twisting or other movement in the case.* Cable management is good for a mid-tower. As you can see in the picture, I can fit ten SATA data cables behind the motherboard/drive cage area, along with three SATA power cables.I really cannot think of anything bad about the case, but I want to stress that I am using it as a file server. I don't even have a GPU in mine, using the built-in Intel graphics for the rare time I log in to the Ubuntu desktop as opposed to ssh. If you have a long GPU you may need to remove one of the 3.5" drive cages. Speaking of which: there are three drive cages including the 5.25" one. All can be removed, and the 3.5" can be rearranged different ways. This way if you don't need 3.5" drives you could put an AIO or water cooler in their place.
