This is a really nice looking cabinet. It's sleek and the glass door is elegant. At 60lbs, it's very solid without being too difficult to move around. 18 inch depth is great for networking equipment and some smaller 1U cases, and saves floor space. Fit my use case perfectly. Removable side panels on both sides. They will lock in to place automatically and can be removed by pushing the tabs. No need to use the lock and key there if you don't want to. Spot for fans on both top and bottom. Mine's just sitting on the floor, but this could greatly improve airflow for a wall-mounted installation.



For the price, this is really a great rack. Heavy duty feel to the construction. It all goes together without much pain.

Very well designed.


Tested 3 CPUs from the Epyc 4004 family all have been unlocked, works in the Asrock X870E Taichi Lite I'm using with BIOS 3.40, runs up better than the Ryzen 9 7900X I tested right after the 4464P.

Same as the 9950X3D, but better binned and comes with Enterprise features not found on the desktop counterpart.

- Almost every feature you will need for a server is already on board (IPMI, 2 Oculink 4x, 2 10Gbe Nics) - ECC Ram official support, however, my B450 mainstream rig can also run ECC Ram - with a 3900x, 3900XT or a 3950X, your VMs are uniquely able to have a very high frequency and many core count which is something even the epyc platform cannot offer. - AMD is always insane when it comes to SR-IOV even their cheapest board supports this and here is no different

- below $350 this is a great option to pack huge amount of power into a small box - can serve 48 or 64 core EPYC - slimSAS connectors allow you to add extra devices (e.g. additional drives, I actually use an EDSFF SSD with adapters) - fits e.g. 2U Dynatron coolers but also chunky ones like the ID-Cooling SE-207-TRX


I gave this product full stars because is worked as advertised without issue successfully from day one for the last ninety days plus. This is after two failed attempts using the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE and a six month hiatus. For details, see my Total Disaster Newegg review for that ASUS motherboard. Other than solid quality and solid reliability, it is difficult for me to review this Gigabyte board. The reason is that the board is most definitely designed to be a server motherboard. I configured it into a workstation motherboard.



Good, strong rack. 25U is ample space for a home lab, and that is resizable (length-wise) is a definite plus.
