In Server Chassis

I'm using this in a different way than most people - I built a VST player/MIDI module (essentially a clone of a MUSE Receptor) using this as the foundation for a 2U rackmount case. I combined this with a mATX board, a 4x20 LCD display in the external bay, and a SSD (given the potential for vibration). For my purposes, having the small power button on the front is perfect, and the bright light isn't a factor. Also, given this is part of a 12U rack, I didn't need something made of extremely thick steel so the weight was perfect as well. Didn't cut my fingers on anything, which is always a bonus after 25+ years of building PCs. I'm using an EarthWatts PSU which vents to the rear but it's nice to have the vents cut out on the lid as well.

- Made with thick steel so it is very rigid (I guess it did say 1mm, I guess I didn't realize how thick that really was). This case feels better built than my HP servers... - The entire case is held together with screws instead of rivets which is nice, especially for modding. - The design seems to be thought through pretty well. - Overall, I am very very happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone which needs a small 2U case. I can't get over they used screws instead of rivets. I'll definitely be looking at this brand for server cases in the future.

- Short depth - Simple design - Good cooling/fan openings placement

Case is small and fits into a rack nicely. Layout is plain which is good. No waste in space with separate bars that do nothing. This is entirely an open case to allow maximum air flow.

- 1U so small - 80+ GOLD powersupply - Cost savings over comparable motherboard/server from SM. - Its supermicro so everything just fits - Good quality metal no flex
