Pros: Love the designe
ultra silent
low rpm fan but see cons
lock features Cons: Fan only have Cheap molex connector no monitoring unaceptable
no removable filtrer
if you add gpu add gpu blower edition
hard to swap drive but its ok Overall Review: its ok but change your fan for must robust

Pros: Great entry level rack mount. Cons: The fans that come with it have cheap really molex connectors. Be careful plugging them in. Overall Review: Rather it was cheaper without fans.

Pros: Somebody spent a lot of time engineering odd design choices for common hardware mounting issues. I’m not sure of the thought process, or mandated design characteristics, but the result is a box with a lot of parts that is clumsy to mount parts, like hard-drives into. The case is sturdy and substantial. The fan support for the 3 case fans in the middle appears to accommodate a CPU AIO cooler without issue. The case’s enamel paint seems well applied and fairly scratch resistant. The case comes with screws to mount the motherboard, power supply, and drives to the case. It also comes with an instruction manual. This is both good, and bad. Good, in that it’s nice to see someone including instructional literature with their product, rather than the zero quantity of literature normally supplied with computer cases. Bad in that a computer case shouldn’t be so complex AS TO NEED AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL. It’s 2025. PC’s have been on the market for over 43 years now. Surely someone has figured out how to make a PC case for computer peripherals and components that’s easy and intuitive to use in the past 4 decades! Lots of front, and back, ventilation holes. Plenty of room for many drives, accommodates a large motherboard, and even a CPU AIO if you need it! Cons: The 5 included fans are 2-wire, always at 100% full-blast, super cheap-cheap-cheap fans. I haven’t seen a case fan so outdated, so antiquated, in nearly 2 decades. The less well intellectually gifted among us might argue “Well, it’s a rack-mount case. It’s for the data center where fan noise doesn’t matter.” Firstly, California has already adopted mandated energy-saving regulations for computers. This may, or may not, directly impact the fans in this case, but California will inevitably expand it’s energy-saving dictates, and these fans will be a problem. A decent case can easily consume 9-10 watts. A case with 5 fans? 50 watts. One computer. These cheap fans probably only draw a few watts, but putting such fans in this case is one more example of the odd engineering choices that went into this case’s design. SECONDLY, I use a full-sized, 19″ rack in my home office for ALL my computer and networking gear, and have for a long time. I have WAY too many computers, and way too much network gear to just try and stack it or put it under the desk. Pro’s like me frequently use racks for our gear. I have 3 racks for electronics, some of it audiophile audio gear. Fan noise is a BIG deal to me. I already have enough fans running, I don’t need 5 more running at a full clip. Maybe I’m just ahead of the curve, or an over-achiever. Whatever the case, this case’s design parameters are Quixotic, and that’s being polite. These fans have GOT TO GO. NewEgg, I expected more from your in-house Rosewill brand. Some of the bizarre case design choices are just plain bad. The top cover: 4 tiny screws on the side, & then you have to lift the front of the cover before removing it, precluding its use in a rack with ANY equipment located in the rack space above this case. The drive mounting carriers do not anchor the drives firmly in their designated slot. Much more side venting would be welcome, considering the drive fans are blowing potentially hot air right at the fans blowing on the motherboard. More front-mounted USB ports, including Type C, would be welcome. Overall Review: This case is useful in certain narrow usage scenarios. For starters, you’ll need a rack to put it in. Putting new fans in it is likely also a wise move, possibly a necessity. The case is roomy inside, and if you need the room, it’s a good choice for your computer components. Remember to bend at the knees when moving or installing the case. It is substantial. Also, if you’re a NewEgg fan-man, like me, this stylish case in basic black matches any decor and livens up any room it’s used in.

Pros: – Decent layout
– Well-constructed
– Cost-effective Cons: – Most fans are 3-pin. Should be all PWM 4-pin fans. This is not an enterprise product, and is mostly going to be going into homelab / enthusiast environments. Lower loads means noise reduction can be prioritized. PWM fans really don’t cost that much more…
– Does NOT play well with the Rosewell rail kit. I had to remove the handles to get the case to slide all the way back in the rack, because the front mounting ears for the railkit interfere with the handle assembly. Removing the handles means removing the front bezel, as well, so now I have no air filter (I don’t care about the locking door).
– no chassis intrusion switch. If you care about this sort of thing (I don’t) then look elsewhere. Overall Review: Works for what I need, and at the pricepoint I was willing to pay. There are definitely better options out there for more $, but if you’re looking for barebones yet functional, this will do.
