1.0mm SECC Server
2 x USB2.0, IEEE1394 Front Ports
4 External 5.25" Drive Bays
4 Internal 3.5" Drive Bays

Chenming’s server case is designed to hold lots of equipment in a relatively small space. The motherboard tray can handle the 12x13 EATX boards for server applications. There are 10 drive bays, four external 5.25” and six 3.5” (two external, four internal). It’s all wrapped up in a charcoal black shell supported by a 1.0mm SECC frame.

System setup is a simple process. Take out the 3.5” drive bays, install the motherboard and while the bays are out, install the drives then put the bays back in. The 5.25” bays have sliding rails to make optical drive installation a snap.

As system power needs increase power supplies are getting larger and heavier. Chenming took this into account when designing the case and installed structural rails along each side to support the PSU. This will also help the overall structural rigidity of the case.

1. 0mm SECC Coating The Chenming CMUI-601AECB-U features a 1.0mm-thick SECC steel coating for the minimum risk of damage to computer components inside.
Great Expandability with 10 Drive Bays Featuring four 5.25" external drive bays, and six 3.5” drive bays (two external and four internal), the Chenming CMUI-601AECB-U provides great expandability.
Efficient Ventilation The Chenming CMUI-601AECB-U features two 80mm rear fans and front intake vent for efficient ventilation and effective system cooling.
Convenient Front I/O Panel The Chenming CMUI-601AECB-U features a convenient front I/O panel for easy access to one IEEE 1394 port and two USB ports.
Maximum Security The security locks on the front panel and side panel prevent unauthorized access for maximum security. Plus the security chassis intrusion sensing switch (optional) delivers instant alerts when the side panel is unexpectedly opened to safeguard your computer components.

tony_j15 12/19/2007 10:40:21 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Awesome Pros: I've been wanting to get this case for a long time since I'm a fan of the understated and can't get into all that bling and acrylic windows. At first I was hoping it would be a tad darker, but the charcoal color helps it stand out a little in the sea of piano black gloss cases that are running around. Cons: The front USB connector is a little loose, I've got this nasty feeling I'm going to snap it some day when I yank out my thumb drive. The screws should have been separated out instead of all thrown together in the one bag. Other Thoughts: It's actually not all that roomy in there if you have a high end video card and attempt to mount a hard drive right across from it. I had to remove the plastic fan holder from that section to get the hard drive to fit. Not a big problem though, just FYI. Did you find this review helpful?

Kiwi 11/13/2007 6:49:32 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 4/5Case Pros: Nice size, roomy. 80mm fans are the right size for cooling. Removable HD drive bays are nice and easy. Like the extra support for a nice heavy duty PSU. Cons: The 5.4 drive bay rails are less than adequate. I rip the front door off anyway. Other Thoughts: Built several Rigs using this case and almost ready to build another for myself. Considering this case again, as I rework pretty much everything I'll see how I can fix the slide rails in the 5.4 on my current Chenming before diving in again though. Never had a case where I leave the side panel on, so It's worthless for me to worry about the new 'Windowless' panel. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 10/22/2007 1:14:32 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5great Pros: Sturdy design. Lots of room to work with. Cons: none, this case rocks Other Thoughts: front door could be better, but for the price it dosnt matter. You will run out of stuff to put in this before it runs out of space to hold it. Its very heavy, not a lan rig but looks sweet sitting in your room. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
linux 10/20/2007 7:28:30 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great case but some issues Pros: Great case very big and stays very cool also very quiet cant hear my 8 fans runing inside Cons: the front door if you try and put in swap bay look out for door will not close all the way but its not that bad i just had to cut some plastic and now its fine Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 10/10/2007 3:26:53 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Great Case Pros: Heavy duty, easy to work with, large. Cons: Large. Other Thoughts: I bought this case about 7 years ago and used the original 420 watt power supply for about 6... with the fans removed. It still is in great shape. Highly recommended.

N/A 9/4/2007 2:10:27 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 4/5 Pros: This is case is perfect for custom built server, plenty of room and it's well built. And best of all no windows, disco lights or other useless junk. Just a nice solid case. Cons: This case did at one time come with a 500 watt power supply, but oh well it's still worth every penny.

N/A 7/31/2007 8:46:06 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Fantastic Case. I have purchased 4 of these cases and I would buy more. There is plenty of room for everything. If you buy 2 more fans for the front intake, the cooling is fantastic. This case is perfect for servers and regular workstations or gaming computers. Best case i ever bought. Sturdy Construction. Cons: None really. Front door lock can easily be broken into. (I don't use them anyway) Other Thoughts: The little feet add stability and the door keeps the front of the case looking clean and neat. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

eatont9999 6/18/2007 1:18:04 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Awesome Case Pros: Great case!! High quality construction and rounded edges to prevent cuts. I have never bent or broke this case in any way. Cons: It is getting a little small for me, but I have serveral HDDs and large cards. I also may need more room to implement a water cooling system. Other Thoughts: Just a great case. You will have this one for life! 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
TA152H 5/10/2007 1:52:51 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Cheap Rubbish Pros: Cheap, uses EATX, and quite large. Cons: It's got the twin charms of being both heavy and flimsy at the same time. It has sharp edges too. It's very poorly made, complete junk, and disagreeable to work with. It came bent and was difficult to even open. Other Thoughts: If you need something cheap that will use EATX, and don't mind working with garbage, then this is for you. You get what you pay for. 0 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
QuantumFlux 3/17/2007 9:37:57 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Case! Pros: It's great for modding! It's big and flashy and great for LAN parties. The keyed front panel and side panel are extremely useful. The paint is not glossy so it can just be painted over without priming or stripping it. Very roomy for just about any additions you want to make. Cons: Its big. Though a mod that adds a top handle is the solution to this, it is still large but... depends on what you like.
