Great Rack Mount Case

iStarUSA D-400L-7SE Black Aluminum / Steel 4U Rackmount High Performance Chassis 7 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: Plenty of room, almost everything inside can be removed via screws, it is of solid construction and quality parts!

Cons: No real complaints about this case.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid 4U rack mount case that has plenty of options for "odd-ball" configurations...this case is a very good place to start.

Athena Power RM-DD4U48E808 Black 1.2mm Steel 4U Rackmount Server Case 800W 80 PLUS Bronze 8 External 5.25" Drive Bays
Athena Power RM-DD4U48E808 Black 1.2mm Steel 4U Rackmount Server Case 800W 80 PLUS Bronze 8 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: To be fair, I will say what I did like about the case: The middle 120MM fan mount was easy to remove and swap out the fans for more quiet fans. ... That's about it...

Cons: The case cover uses *tiny* screws made of *cheap* metal that are easy to *strip*, and a *PAIN* to open up the case once it is in a rack. Universal Rack Mount rails do not fit this case well *at all*. The motherboard mounting pegs cannot be removed and if your motherboard *DOES NOT ALIGN PERFECTLY* you will get faulty ground contacts to your motherboard (which is another long story).

Overall Review: Unless you *know for a fact* your motherboard will *FIT ALL MOTHERBOARD PEGS PERFECTLY*... just don't even think about it. If you don't plan on accessing the *inside* of your case from a rack, then it would be "an ok case" to use, but if you are like me and sometimes want to check something out, replace something, etc, without having to *completely remove the case from the rack*... then don't think about this case. The power supply I pulled from the case and am using in an iStarUSA case that is, by all measures, far superior to this case.

Great Purchase -- Lots of Room!

Pelican Black 1495CC1 Deluxe Laptop Case Model 1495-003-110

Pros: Pretty much you get what you see... and read...the case is solid, the internal organizer is optional (i.e. comes out easily) but is also good if you need it. This box can fit a medium size projector, laptop/surface/iPad, cables, documents, cell phone, and more...as in it has plenty of room but is not too big.

Cons: No problems at all with the case I was sent.

Overall Review: If you want a rugged case that can take a beating, be submerged for up to 30 minutes without anything getting wet, and would like to feel "relatively" safe with your contents not only do you have the integrated lock, but you can add two more locks of your own on either side of the case. Would recommend!
