4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, not great, better than some

The Good, The Bad, and The Indifferent. The Good: The Bad: Neither good nor bad (at least not yet): Not a badly built case. Just economically done. Good price. If you need a ton of hard drives in one box (like for a large RAID, which is what I needed) this will work well.
- Case is very lightweight
- Solidly built
- Reasonably flexible in configuration
- That really lightweight case? Yeah it flexes a lot, metal of the case is kind of flimsy. For me, it's fine. I don't expect to be moving this PC around hardly at all. But, I will say, I've seen cases that are plenty more expensive, same kind of metal in the construction.
- It's really kind of surprising just how small this case is, considering you **CAN** get 16 hard drives in and running. The product listing says 12. There's room for four more on the "floor" of the case. You need to have right-angle power and data cables, and be creative, but I have 16 drives up and running. No, the four on the floor are not screwed down. They only have 1/2 inch of wiggle room, so as long as you keep the case upright, they're not going far.
- Wow is this case tight in all the wrong places. I wish they'd made some additional openings in a couple of places for cables. Most of my troubles come from having 16 power and 16 data cables. Birds could nest in there and not need straw for the nest.
- Running some file copying overnight tonight, with thermal logging going on. I only have the CPU fan, and one in the back and one in the front. The case does not have a top vent, nor does it have bottom intakes.
- Since this is an [apparently] older design/style case, with the PSU up top, instead of how things are usually done these days, with the PSU down at the bottom, There's some cable run advantages this way, but there's little room for a top vent.
- Not sure why, since the PSU is up top, there's no bottom intake. But stick a couple fans in the front and you should be good.

Came in with a dented back panel. I managed to push it out a bit with my hands, but still very noticeable. The metal is cheap, thin and very easy to cut yourself on. It does have very many hard drive slots. It doesn't feel great, it feels like a cheap $40 case that just got added alot of HDD slots and suddenly it's almost $100 for that. There isn't even a front panel USB 3.0, the side panel can only take one fan at a time as shown. I was aware of this but it's still disappointing. Might be able to fit the side panel with a 240mm radiator.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a mess but functional

This is an old style case repurpused to accommodate many hard drives for its size. I have several tempered glass microatx computers, yet this somehow manages to be even smaller than those cases. The build quality is poor, very flimsy, and difficult to work with. Case is really only worth $30-$40 dollars at most, it's horrible. I also drilled holes to accommodate the fans. Luckily my other two Ryzen 5000 computer rigs are beautiful mATX builds with Lian Li and Thermaltake, so I only treat these as just crypto mining rigs, and may expand later. Barely any space for wire management; from my build, the back panel is already fully occupied with wires and difficult to close despite leaving a lot of wires in the front with the motherboard. On the positive, it is still functional and carries a large capacity of hdds for its size, and is extremely cheaper than ordering an external nas enclosure of equivalent capacity.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE PRODUCT STAY AWAY!!!

Dislikes- Pros -
- Horribly Thin and lightweight metal feels comparable to a $40 case, horrible
- On the rear of the case there is a back panel however it have ZERO room for any cable management
- If you need to replace the motherboard expect to have to take every since HDD out to have to change a single part... horrible design.
- Even if you manage to get 12 Hard drives in there the cables are going to be unmanageable because of the size of this case and no back room to manage anything.
- The front panel connectors are extremely cheap, and rainbow color. Its been a while since I've seen any cables like that 6+ years at least.
- I could go on and on but I think you get the point, just stay away.
None stay away from this case it will save you a headache and a half.

Not a bad case.My came a little dented, but was able to fix. Just needed a cheap case for my nas and to add more drives. Its kind of a old school case so you have to make sure you put things in order, because its a tight fit. It fits my needs, but if you don't want to mess around or be creative you can get a fractal design case for 60 to 70 dollars more without the hassle.
