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.

At the time of writing this case undercuts competitor budget rack mount 4U cases by $140. And at that price point it is a steal. The case came with no observed defects. Next to no special features but thats what I wanted. The drive cases are functional enough. The panels are light duty but dont flex much under moderate pressure. Mine came with 3 fans: 1x 120 and 2x 60s which are basic but they work. The locking front at this price point is fantastic. It wont stop someone determined but it keeps the power switches protected. Overall exactly what I expected and wanted in this price point.

I chose this case for a mini ITX build for a 'living room' computer. Very well built with all the screws and brackets necessary for 1 5.25" or 2x 3.5" HDD. The paint is durable as well and it looks nice with the chrome handles. I would definately by it again.

Supermicro makes great and sturdy cases. Never go wrong with them.
