Review: Short 1U with great space - This case is serving as a PBS server. I made some executive decision for drive lay out and it paid off. The PSU has shorted cable but still has a hard time keep the case flush; because of the extra wires. Be warned, 1u's do not fit standard I/o shield and this one comes with a mesh grate to cut to fit; I left it open for better air flow.
Review: Pretty much what I expected. - It's basically all stamped sheetmetal, but at least it's solid. Also everything rackmount is overpriced and this was the cheapest shallow depth case I could find. Points added for the included rack screw converter plates, but deducted because the included blank card cover is silver instead of black (when the rest of the outside is black, not that anyone really sees the back but that's not the point.) Also the cover for the back panel (if no motherboard is installed) is amazingly flimsy, and there is none included for if no power supply is installed (which seems like less of a use case though so that's understandable.) Front ports aren't USB-3 (or USB-C at this point) either. Would buy again for the one specific application that I need it for, but not if the price went up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short 1U with great space
*by R***E on May 23, 2025*

This case is serving as a PBS server. I made some executive decision for drive lay out and it paid off. The PSU has shorted cable but still has a hard time keep the case flush; because of the extra wires. Be warned, 1u's do not fit standard I/o shield and this one comes with a mesh grate to cut to fit; I left it open for better air flow.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty much what I expected.
*by J***R on November 26, 2023*

It's basically all stamped sheetmetal, but at least it's solid. Also everything rackmount is overpriced and this was the cheapest shallow depth case I could find. Points added for the included rack screw converter plates, but deducted because the included blank card cover is silver instead of black (when the rest of the outside is black, not that anyone really sees the back but that's not the point.) Also the cover for the back panel (if no motherboard is installed) is amazingly flimsy, and there is none included for if no power supply is installed (which seems like less of a use case though so that's understandable.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the price its not terrible
*by A***X on November 18, 2023*

the small form is nice, the case feels solid and comes with a fair bit of hardware. i would replace the fans with something quieter. the placement of the fans isnt exactly great. on the mini itx board i installed the main connection is right where the fans are blocking air flow front to rear. if the connector was in a different spot my ram would be blocking it, so not the best place for the fans, i was able to mount a 3.5 inch drive no problem.
