3U Short Depth Chassis with aluminium Louver front up to 9 x 3.5" HDD

A great case which is solidly built and easy to work in. The fans have molex connectors, so run at a fixed RPM and move plenty of air. They are, as to be expected in a rackmount case, a little noisy. The case lacks some of the nice to have features that are available with some of the more expensive cases rails, tool-less lid etc, but its excellent value for money. The case is slightly different on the inside to the pictures, as it has three of the metal HDD towers, rather than two, but that gives more options for drive mounting. Each cage has four HDD mounting positions but some of them will be blocked by your choice of components. Large DIMMs andor CPU coolers on mATXATX boards for example would block some of the mounting positions. I used a regular 160mm modular PSU and I suspect that adding HDDs directly behind the PSU would be a tight fit too. There is a 25mm gap between the rear of my PSU and the rear of the HDD which means the modular connectors of the PSU may obstruct the HDD SATA connectors in some of the mounting positions. I would use a shorter PSU and a mini ITX board if you want to maximise the available HDD mounting space. Im very happy with this case and I would definitely buy another one.
