I'm not going to write a pros/cons, just the facts in this category. This is a VERY bare-bones 4U case. There are no reward points here for style. There are no removable/hot-swap trays, there is an old commitment to 5.25" bays you can convert with an IcyDock or similar; the tray layout does not provide for any of the newer methods for routing or cable management, and the spacing is such that you are not going to put any deep mount device in here. While there are numerous 3.5" bays, you really will want to use less than 1/2 of them for both heat and performance concerns. The case, however, is one of the cheaper 4U cases, and if you are looking for a baseline for a simple purpose, like a virtualization header, a Windows server, a firewall or similar, this case is certainly a decent choice. I have had no problems using this as a case for my firewall and VPN software layouts, as well as Windows servers in the past, due to pass-through problems of specific USB security keys that did not like VMWare or XCP's pass-through I was forced to keep on their own.





Everything works, The IPMI web interface is fast and easy.

It’s a substantial piece of hardware; you’d expect to see at an industrial supply warehouse, more so than an electronic component outlet, unless you're looking specifically for rack hardware. Departing from its original intended use, rack mounted components, it’s difficult to comprehend alternative uses until you see/ hold it. Call/use it whatever way you like; shelf, platform, bracket, it’s a winner. It’s capable of performing many functions, install it, horizontal right-side up/down - or – vertically. It appears to be surprisingly tough (weight/finish). Attachment points are well engineered. Slots intended for ventilation to serve as readily available attachment points; especially useful when mounted vertically or overhead. Mounted horizontally right-side up, reversed, it provides a lip to hold small items from dropping; mounted vertically, its accompanying slots offer numerous anchor points for all kinds of stuff; i.e Bungee hooks. It’s substantial nature accommodates a myriad of one-off applications, i.e., vertical/overhead mount for 160 degree convex mirror. Use it as a platform for IP cameras with magnetic bases. Benefiting from a plug strip (tidy things up), amazing how well it’d suit it is for this application. Additionally, if you're not aware of the newest generation of magnets, Google N52, it’s mind boggling what a substantial base like this is capable of accomplishing when joined to powerful magnets.


I purchased this rack for my home server setup. It's definitely a sturdy rack and well constructed. 3/4 of the way through the build, I noticed i was missing one of the top bracket pieces. I contacted Rosewill regarding getting a replacement piece. They said they couldn't send out a single replacement piece, but they could send a 2nd new rack & I was to remove any pieces that I needed & return the rest using a preprinted UPS label. The 2nd rack arrived within 2 days. Excellent customer service!
