thundcase 2U MATX rackmount Chassis Depth 11.8" ATX PSU

Little more than what i expected. Overall great to setup and install on a rack system. Looks great and very simple to set up. Great buy.

If you're setting up a server and need a dependable 2U chassis, this one mostly hits the mark. It's got a sturdy build and fits micro ATX motherboards nicely. However, be cautious about the sizing, it's a bit taller than a standard 2U, which might not fit in all racks. In my rack this created some scratches on this case. Also, the case is pretty basic, and if you're using larger power supplies or high-profile add-ons, they won't fit. I even had a low profile cooler which was too tall, so I had to use a wraith spire. Overall, a decent choice for the price, just double-check the dimensions and your components before buying.

Likes:It’s a short form factor 2u and the depth allows it to fit in my rack.Dislikes:1: It’s not an exact 2u as mentioned. It’s a little bit taller.2: The edges on this thing are razor sharp. I got a nasty cut while trying to move some wires.3: it says it supports X8 2.5 drives. 4 of the metal piece of death and another 4 some where else.3: The metal piece of death that’s supposed to hold the drives is blocked by anything you place in the PCIE slot narrowing the amount of drives you can store. This case was meant for someone who is going to use onboard everything with no add on peripherals.4: The expansion slot holders are reusableCan I recommend this ? Only if you have experience building computers and are willing to take a sacrifice of missing stuff.

Made space in my rack for this chassis. It wouldn't fit. Pushed all my gear on top upwards as far as it would go, and below downwards but it still wouldn't fit. Come to find out after measuring that the front case lip is actually taller than 3.5" if only slightly. Its at about 3.625" which is enough so that it won't fit between my other gear. I have a standard Startech 4-Post rack. Stuck two other 1U pieces of equipment back in there and they fit with a bit of space to spare. It's definitely the chassis that is the problem. I really needed this case to work too.Update 2024.04.26 - Just got a RackChoicce 2U Chassis and it fit easily in the space I made for this chassis initially with a hint of room to spare. I wish this chassis would have worked as it is over 3" shorter in depth which is still way more room than necessary for a M-ATX board. Anyway, dont buy this case if you only have 2U of space available.

This 2U server chassis was just what I was looking for! I’m making a firewall for my server rack and this made a perfect starting point. It’s sturdy and is pre-drilled for a micro ATX motherboard. I haven’t fired up the fans yet, but there’s enough ventilation so I’m not worried. Great product!
