4U Server Chassis/Server Case/Rackmount Case, Metal Rack Mount Computer Case with 8 Bays & 7 Fans Pre-Installed (RSV-L4000)

Perfect for home server. Plenty of drive bays as I'd wanted. Added in a Rosewill RSV-SATA-Cage-34, which doesn't seat perfectly flush (couple millimetres off) but you can't beat the value of this chassis. Have not tried using the hot-swap bays yet, will update this review if I have any SATA issues.

Finding the right case for my project has been a real challenge. I have been looking through google and amazon for quite a few months and haven't settled on the right combination yet. I haven't actually tried this case yet....as in actual operation! Although, i want to make some comments. Firstly... i have not been paid or compensated to make these comments, not to say i wouldn't like to be. They are my actual opinions and views.When looking thru chassis & cases i wanted to make my chassis as compact as possible, since i am putting this in a 72 inch white cabinet..."TRIPP LITE 42U Rack Enclosure Server Cabinet (all white) Doors and Sides are screen/vented, 3000-lb Cap SR42UW" in case you want to see what i am talking about...I want this to be a two tone system, and looks is important. So when looking thru cases, most of the cases looked chincy, plastic like, in the pictures. So it was hard to make my choice. So i basically took a gamble when i ordered this case.I am using a large e-ATX motherboard... A Gigabyte MW70-3S0 (Intel C612) Dual CPU Workstation Motherboard. This is a really big motherboard, with two CPUs. And, I have large convection radiator's with fan on top of each CPU... a total of almost 7 inches from the bottom of the motherboard to top of the fan. So this also was a major consideration when choosing a case. Come to find out, the CPU fan just clears the top of the chassis.I have really liked the looks of the Rosewill Chassis for some time (from looking at the amazon pictures) but couldn't find one that would fit the e-ATX motherboard with enough height to fit the CPU cooler. Then, I ran across this case which said it would fit this size of motherboard. Another consideration, there was room for good air flow capability. So i decided to order this, even though I thought it would be chincy.Even though I thought the case would be too small, and flimsy... I ordered this on a gamble as i said.My experience so far.This is what is good about this chassis/case:1) The chassis was at my door step in three days from the time I ordered it till I brought it into my house. I was very surprised upon seeing this big box. Well my interest was surly peeked. The case is double boxed (box inside a box). This is very good, in that it prevents the case from getting bent, or damaged. Very thoughtful of the company.2) When I opened the box, wow, the chassis is so big, and beautiful from the outside. Not chincy looking at all, rather very classy and elegant. The pictures really don't do this chassis justice at all. From looking at the pictures, it doesn't really relate the actual size of this chassis. The actual chassis measures 17"wide x 7" height x 26"deep with the side-wings brings it out to 19" wide. The entire chassis is sturdy galvanized metal throughout. It would be nice if it were all aluminum as far as weight is concerned. But that would bring the cost of the case up to more than double i suppose. There is one plastic part... it is a panel that holds in a foam filter in the folding cover.3) For what you are getting...an all steel case... this is one of the best-values in server cases I have seen (at $90 at the time of this purchase). The chassis is all galvanized so it won't be rusting any time soon. It has an additional bar across the center-inside-top of the case to add rigidity I suspect, and possibly hold down the graphics cards for moving the chassis around... and gives a handle to use when moving the case around during the build. Unfortunately, the bar has to be removed before installing any full-size graphics cards.4) Lots of extra room inside the case. This makes for good air flow.5) I am putting SSD hard drives by Intel, which installs directly into a port on the motherboard, same as would a graphics card. I am installing this"Intel P3600 SERIES SSD 1.3-Inch Solid State Drive SSDPEDME400G401". This is because this computer will be used for CAD. I am a machinist, and inventor and I really like to designand build things. So speed is really important to me. I am putting two of these SSD drives next to each other, and will use a "Raid 1" to Mirror the Operating System drives for reliability, and for speed. These drives have Read/Write Speeds upwards of 2500 to 3000 Mb/sec transfer speeds compared to 400/500 Read/Write speeds for standard SSD drives. This is a really big difference. And so I hope this will help this computer build operate much faster... in that I am starting out with Duel 6 core CPUs, with 3.50 mhz speed. I am considering starting out with a 6 core CPU as a matter of cost, to save money getting this computer built, and have a significant upgrade-path later as I save money for the real deal. This motherboard will hold 2 x 22 core processors. But right now at a cost of about $7000 each. So later, I am hoping the cost of the CPUs to come down. Anyway, I am figuring this chassis/case will be my last chassis purchase for my CAD computer, as it is so roomy and durable.Problems I ran into with this build:1) This bar across the top middle of the case wouldn't fit with my big 1500 watt Digital Corsair power supply. So I had to remove it. Anyway, the case is so strong, it won't make a big problem to just leave it off.2) This is not really a problem in this case... all the screws for removal of the top lid are countersunk, there all flush with the case. You can hardly see them. For me... I would prefer if the screws were large-enough to remove by hand, without tools. So it would be good if the company would include some extra screws that can easily be turned with your thumb and for finger. Just a suggestion.3) All of the fans have standard 4 pin power cables to connect the fans to the motherboard. I wanted to put a power-speed controller by Nzxt into 2 of the open-hard-drive-slots. And, this device requires 3 wire connections on all 5 fans. So this is not really a problem with the case, rather a condition requiring replacement of all the fans " if " I wanted to install this fan controller. Just something to consider if you are going to install something like this to control the speed of all your fans.4) There is a filter in the front lid which has holes in the inside plastic cover which fixes the foam filter. If you desire faster air-flow, you might consider installing larger-capacity fans which are really fast, which develop a lot of pressure to over-come this filter restriction. I myself will be using the air filter. Wherein, having a fan speed controller would be advisable to balance noise, air pressure, and air flow, ultimatly for temperature control.So, all in all, this is a really nice case if you want a roomy build. It's very sturdy, and quite elegant. Need I say more. I will probably get another one in the near future I think this will make a good combination for building another CAD computer to sell. And, I will be using this build as a show-piece. I will post-some high-quality pictures of my build, after I check out the air-flow. I am not putting any water-cooled elements in this build, in that this motherboard/Intel CPU combination cannot be clocked as I understand. So, I don't think it will be necessary. I don't think this case is roomy enough for a grand-water cooled system anyway. It's not a show-off chassis as its a server-style case, and has no viewing-windows.Regards.

Estuve buscando gabinete para mi PC pero que quepa un fuente de poder de 1500w. en este gabinete si cabe perfectamente y espacios de sobra para restos de componentes incluyendo GTX1080ti. El material que esta hecho considero muy bueno, acero muy solido. El único malo es que no hay como mandar los cables parte atrás para que queden más decorativo.

This is a well made case that was being sold at the time for a great price. No complaints.

This fella is built like a tank. came with all the parts to get you up and running in no time.
