RackChoice EATX/ATX/Micro ATX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis Short Depth 15" Support Horizontal & Low-Profile add-on Cards

I am a newbie when it comes to building my own home network but I wanted to give it a shot, so I chose this rack mount server chassis. Everything nowadays is wireless, but wired provides the faster and more secure connection. The steel is thick enough for me and is not flimsy. I like to save space so the short mount works for me. If starting a home network then I recommend this chassis.

I really wanted to like this case due to it being able to support a full ATX motherboard, but there are two major flaws. 1) mounting a half-height PCI card is kluggy because of the gap between the motherboard and the back of the case, and 2) the case only accepts a flex ATX PS, and the PS is mounted completely INSIDE the case, meaning the heat from the PS goes right into the case vs venting to the outside. I knew about this second flaw before buying the case, and so replaced the cheap 80x15 fans with Noctua 80x25 fans.

Cable management is a bit tricky but it’s a solid case. May run a little warm if not in a temperature controlled room. Really like how it turned out though!

I bought this case over Rosewill one only because it is smaller and can fit in an E-ATX motherboard. But it does not, frankly speaking. If there is a bit more clearance on the front panel or at the fan grill, not much, just 1 cm, it would be perfect. But it does not. There are holes to mount an E-ATX motherboard, but after the motherboard is in, there is no space for the stock 80mm fans, not speaking of cable management. My solution would be to remove all the stock fans, purchase 10mm thick fans and put them on the other side of the grill. The front panel also does not have sufficient cuts for air intake, despite there being a total of 3 80mm fan mounts. If you are running a machine inside it that would be hot, this case is not for you.

Definitely meant for a rack mount - constructed of decent steel and needs a 1U power supply. Comes with some pretty good fans; they are a little loud if you're comparing them to standard fans, but for a server chassis they're on the quiet end of the spectrum. Standoffs, fans, and screws are in the box and it should work great for my needs (as a DIY security camera computer). Front panel ports are limited, but standard for this sort of chassis. All in all it's well constructed and just as advertised. Five stars from me

This is just a bare 2U rack chassis where you supply everything else except some fans. Overall it is spacious in the design and plenty of expandability for the drives. The design is nice, and the top is easily removable with just a couple of screws. In testing, the fans are a little loud that could be a concern. I didn't include a power supply but had a connector in the back for the power cable which is a little strange instead of one that would just slide into it the back itself for connectivity. Nice little case that will fit most motherboards as long as the processor fan is short enough and provides air flow. If you plan it out, this would be a nice case for a home built server.

I ordered the RackChoice EATX / ATX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis as a possible update to my current home network. The chassis appears to be well-made and totally adequate for housing a small server motherboard.
