Customer Reviews:
nice little home-server case October 16, 2008
Benjamin Staffin (California)
I got this case to build a small home fileserver in, and it's worked out nicely for me. It's a bit pricey, but the construction quality reflects that - the design is well thought-out and integrated, there are no sharp edges to catch your cables or fingers on, and the sound deadening is effective. I took my components out of an antec Aria case (i.e. a small cube-shaped case) and put them in this one (plus a new power supply and 4 additional hard drives...) and the end result runs significantly quieter and cooler than before. I'm happy.
The minor downsides:
- You might end up needing longer cables than you expect because of the unusual internal layout.
- There's a good chance that your optical drive won't fit into the top 5.25" bay where you want it to. It's a short bay.
- Pricy case, _and_ you need to supply your own power supply. I'm fine with that, but the whole setup is not cheap.
- Despite the overall excellent cable routing arrangement inside, the power cables for the top and rear fans dangle awkwardly into the middle of the case. You have to get creative to keep them out of the way.
