CHENBRO SR10569-CO 0.8mm SECC Pedestal Main Streaming Server/Workstation Chassis 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: Fits dual processor EEB server motherboards in a case that is 4" longer and no taller than a typical mini - tower. There are 6 available 3.5" bays: 4 in the included drive cage, and one more vertically below the drive cage using the included rails. There is one 5.25" to 3.5" converted included in the top external 5.25 bay. After that, you still have two external 5.25" bays free.

Cons: Tight around the power supply with all the cabling for dual processors, drive, etc.

Overall Review: A great option for this case is to add some casters to the bottom. Servers can get quite heavy filled with all the drives and components. Good casters are ArtBin Super Satchel Cube Casters, Set of 4-Black, 6856SW, about $8 on amzn. Install the casters before you build as you will need to drill holes into the bottom of the steel case to attach them.

Pros: This case is excellent. Very sturdy, fits together well, spacious, easy to open, easy to install, good ventilation, no goofy lights or windows. Has braces for very long cards. Tool-free. I have 2.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The only improvements that could be made: add a 4th external drive bay and add front-facing connectors for USB3, firewire, card reader.

Pros: The board fits. Sturdy

Cons: Did not come with the feet shown in the picture. (Still a good case without the feet).

Overall Review: Great case for a server.

Pros: None

Cons: None

Pros: Sturdy, easy to use, ATX motherboard from Supermicro fit easily, came with standoffs, has nicely labeled "jumpers" to fit to the motherboard for poweron switch, etc. Quiet when the cover is on. Powersupply fits just fine, etc.

Cons: Some of the toolless stuff is a little wonky. I dont mind using a screwdriver. I think they should have a one sheet in english that says whatever even though it is easy to figure out.

Overall Review: Almost certain to buy this again.

Pros: - Its Plain, does not have a see through window - The sheet metal is thick and durable, - You can mount E-ATX dual Core Opteron Motherboards

Cons: - None Yet,

Overall Review: For under 100 Dollars, its very hard to find a quality case, let alone one that supports E-ATX and supports server motherboards as this one does. It has that old school vintage server look to it, I like how it looks. The bottom stabilizer is a nice touch (the feet) they can be moved both in and out for visual appeal or to assist in hardware installation. Kool all around

Pros: THis is a great case, i have a dual proc tyan board in there and lots of room, great accessories. easy access and all that,the only thing i didnt like is the back plate didnt fit my board all that well, but this is only a minor complaint.

Cons: really none, just a great case

Pros: I like this case. There's plenty of room, most of it is tool free, plenty of airflow, lockable and overall it's a nice design, solid. I like having the network LED too. It looks good.

Cons: The fans could be quieter. I wouldn't say they're noisy but, you know when the system is running. (I'm using it as a workstation.)

Overall Review: I am bummed though because the frame is bent. It's straight from the bottom up until the 5.25" bay, then the frame bends (slightly) to the left. I knew something was wrong when the (broken) front cover standoffs fell out of the case when I first opened the box. But, I had to get the system running, and follow up on it later. I doubt I can get the case replaced at this point. However, the youtube video on the Chenbro website enforces how proud the company is about their quality. And, that's why I bothered to write this; maybe they'll send me an unbent frame. I *would* recommend this case though.
