Athena Power RM-2U200H Black Aluminum / Steel 2U Rackmount Server Case 1 External 5.25" Drive Bays - OEM

Pros: Attractive and clean design, easy access to everything in mATX setup, fans are quiet and system runs cool. Solid front plate, drive mount unscrews so very easy to put 5.25" devices in.

Cons: Had to resolder the power switch and reset switch leads, poorly connected. Also, power and reset switch cables were both labeled "reset" -- no big deal but a little annoying. Back is a little flimsy but not a problem here. Had to improvise with some long screws to mount an SSD in the bay, but it worked. Minor annoyances.

Other Thoughts: Can't beat it at this price.

Pros: Shallow 2U rack case for Micro ATX. Decent build materials

Cons: Loose (rack ear) and missing hardware (two screws attaching brackets in case), Countersink screws for rack handels do not mate with countersunk holes, rack ears don't lie flush to rack rail as a result. All blank card slot fillers missing.

Other Thoughts: Classic case of you get what you pay for. I need to remove the rack handels anyway. Would only buy again if no better 14" depth or less case can be found.
