No surprises. A good case.

Athena Power RM-4U4038X70 Black 4U Rackmount Server Case With EPS-12V 700W Green PFC Dual Fan Power Supply 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays
Athena Power RM-4U4038X70 Black 4U Rackmount Server Case With EPS-12V 700W Green PFC Dual Fan Power Supply 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: The case is sturdy and well finished. I bought it a little over a year ago for my recording studio. The front panel has a fan with easily removed filter. I used another power supply so I can't say how well the included one works. I was able to make a nearly silent build with this case. This case is like a mid-tower case as far as space is concerned. I preferred this to my first rack case which is probably 6 inches deeper.

Cons: The only way to close and open the front cover is with the key. In my non high security environment I leave the key in all the time so I can open and close the case for power up/reset. I wish there was an alternative.

Overall Review: I crammed this thing full of HDD's (5 or 6, not all are connected) as well as a DVD reader. It was a little tight on space but I was able to assemble a very clean looking build. I've never had any heat problems. I am considering a second for a future build.
