Review: A really great bargain for a very sturdy case. - I purchased one of these cases a few weeks ago. I built a Super Mac (Hackintosh) in it. I have an oddball 29U rack that it is in. I'm impressed with the weight and thickness of this beastie.. It's very sturdy. There is nothing cheap or flimsy about this case. It has tons of fans as well. Now let me note a few annoyances about this case. Changing or adding hard drives is a pain in the backside. The drives are in little slide out cages and that's pretty easy but putting the cables on or taking them off is a pain. Inside there is a large cross brace that has three 120mm fans. And the little plastic drive trays that slide in and out of the cages have to be removed from the back of the cages. You really have to remove that whole cross brace full of fans to be able to connect drive power and data cables. The handles of the drive trays are in the way of plugging the cables so it's just easier to remove the cross brace then put it back when done. In the face of each of the two drive cages is a 120mm fan. This helps keep the drives cool. One problem I encountered in my build is that I bought a Corsair Cooling Hydro-Series All-in-One High-Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CWCH60 . It has a little radiator just like a car has. It came with a 120mm fan that you connect to the mobo. There is a temperature sensor and a coolant pump in the cooling plate that connects to the mobo. You are ~supposed~ to mount the radiator/fan combo to the back of the case to exhaust hot air out of the back of the case. But this case do not have a 120mm exhaust vent on it, at all. It does have two 80mm fans on the back above the mobo connections plate. There was no way to mount the radiator to the back of the case, at all. What I had to do was rotate the cooling plate 180 degrees so the hose run towards the front of the case. Then I sandwiched the radiator between it's 120mm fan and the center 120mm fan that is on the cross brace. One fan pushes air through the radiator, the other fan pulls air through it. So that's a LOT of fan happening on the CPU cooler. The disadvantage is that it exhausts right in the middle of the case and blows across the mobo.. But that's really not a big deal, the air seems fairly cool and I have had no issues with overheating. So that said, the case is pretty darn nice overall. I like it enough that I've ordered a second case for an NAS (SMB/CIFS/AFP) & LAMP server I'm building. I like that it has not only room for 8 drives via the cages but if you must, there's room for more drives by adding some custom DIY mounts inside. There's no reason why one couldn't mount 12 drives in one of these cases. I could see myself doing that to be honest. Next month I will be buying a third case for another system that is an HTPC. It has an S2 satellite tuner in it and is connected to a bunch of very large C-band dishes. Currently that machine is running in what is probably a 10 year old PC type tower. It's ugly and has cooling issues. Another one of these cases will solve that problem and allow me to put more drives in it, something I've been needing to do for quite some time. Surprisingly enough, these things are not loud at all. With 8 fans in it one would think it would be deafening. It's not. I sit right next to it, less than 18" away from my left ear for 16 hours a day and it doesn't bother me at all. But when you lower the face cover to access the optical drives, it does get a little loud. Also, if your rack has a door, you can't close the door because of the handle protruding from the front. You can remove the handles but then you loose the face because it's hinged via the handles. I don't have a door on my rack so that didn't bother me at all, I left the handles as is. They need to redesign the back of the case to allow for a 120mm fan for those of us that use liquid coolers. Not a show stopper though, I worked around it. The dust filter could be a little better, I see it drawing dust through the filter and collecting on the face drive cage grills. It keeps out large dust and pet hair but not ultra fine dust. I'm going to end up putting a HEPA filter in the front. (cut up a HEPA vacuum cleaner bag) The drive trays could be redesigned to be a little sturdier and perhaps have handles that fold up or down so you can get to the drive power/data connections easier. The face could be redesigned to hinge differently so people can remove the handles if they need for doored cases. The complaints I have with this case are all trivial and easy enough to work around in most cases. Maybe on their next revision they could tweak things up a little. Overall, I love this case, it's the very thing I've needed for years. I bought a second one and will buy a third one in less than a month. I very well may buy a fourth one to keep as a spare for any future machines I may build. And I probably will. Come to think of it, I will probably order a 5th case.. Why not? I totally recommend this case to anyone that wants a nice, very sturdy rack mount case. It's worth every penny. Just be aware there are some minor, trivial issues that may or may not be a show stopper for you. Also, go to Rosewill and look at their photos, they have several photos from different angles that show much better detail that desertcart shows. They also have a PDF of the manual/instructions you can download if you want to research it before you buy it. I don't see how anyone could really complain about this case, I certainly can't. I rate this case at a full tilt FIVE STARS... I would give it six stars if they would send me a dozen of these cases for free.. :D Update: I purchased a third case before the weekend was over, they weren't going to ship until Monday so I went ahead and ordered one more. So I have one in use now and two new ones ordered. I got to thinking that if I snooze, I might lose. I would have myself forever if they discontinued these cases and I couldn't get that third case next month. Now I will be able to migrate all my machines into one rack and everything will look nice and have proper cooling not to mention, room for LOTS of drives. Three of these cases solve a lot of problems I've been bothered by for years. If these cases are still available next month I'm going to purchase two more for a total of five. These things are a bargain and a steal. One word. Awesomesauce! :)
Review: This case is a joy and frustration to fill to the brim. Let's go on an adventure - I picked up the 2U/5 Drive version to put in a new home server to run things like Syncthing, Nextcloud, a handful of dedicated game servers off of. Never had a home server before but I couldn't wait to live in brilliant self-hosted heaven. I wanted it full like my gramps after Thanksgiving dinner. Micro ATX mobo! Full-size ATX PSU! 5 x 3.5 drives in a 2U case? NOT ENOUGH! I put an IcyDock cage in the 5.25 slot so I've got 4x1TB ssds as well as 4x10TB WD reds in the other slots. This said she could handle it, so I threw everything I had at it. So I piled all my loot to start this build, and like a kid on Christmas, I tore everything open and went to town. Slapped my Ryzen 2700X into it's forever home (oh lawd), snapped in the 4x16gb sticks of ddr4 ram (so fresshh), installed the air cooler as a testament to the massive amount of things I could fit in the case. It was glorious. I went to install the drives and....got slapped in the face with a cold dose of fail. When using a micro ATX mobo, the included cooler is too far to the front of the case to be able to screw the right two drive cages in. It was then I realized I wasn't God. I picked my pride up off the ground, dusted it off and ordered a low-profile cooler. After what felt like a time period sufficient enough for stars to be born and die again, I had my new cooler and was ready to own the world. After cramming the drive cages down over the ram and 24-pin power (It's uncomfortably tight, like a pair of skinny jeans from my emo-phase back in college, see picture), I had installed the case's newest tenant. It fit like a glove. The right-most drive perched on the ledge of the cooler, lazily judging me like my cat from the back of my recliner. I hooked everything up, crammed all the cables in where I could, laughing in the face of cable management. Sensually pushed that power button for the first time and this thing was LOUD. Like, literally a jet engine full of bees had a love child with every piece of clothing from the 80's. Not cool! The two fans in the front of the case are cheap and noisy, mine might have had bad bearings. So after another visit to my sugar daddy, Noctua, I was ready to try again. Slapped that power button and......nothing. Twinkling lights and silence purer than the industrially-bottled artesianal water from some spring in in far away lands. I had done it, I was in Valhalla with my master PC race brethren. Even packed to the max, I didn't have to drop it like it's hot. No thermal throttling, whisper quiet. Even with Nextcloud, Syncthing and 20 or so dedicated servers all running simultaneously. We did it! Anyways, thanks for listening to my story, time to head back to the shire. I'll sum it up here: PROS: - Price - Massive amount of hardware you can pack into this thing (5+ drives, microATX mobo, full ATX PSU, 4 low-profile pcie cards) - Case itself feels solid CONS: - Using a micro ATX board introduced a slew of problems with the drive cages on the right side. - Odd order for installing drive cages, you'll need a pretty long screw drive for some - Hardware is a bit cheap, I had to replace internal screws after installing and uninstalling drives 23563456 times What I'd suggest: - Use an SFX PSU. That extra bit of space will help with cable routing and thermals - Use a low-profile CPU cooler if you're filling all the drive slots (37mm roughly) - Make sure your PSU is modular, internal space is at a premium - Replace the stock fans with Noctua versions, or something quieter (2x 80mm) - Use something like a Icydock cage to put a bunch of 2.5 drives into the 5.25 drive space along with a pcie sata expander - Use an M.2 drive if your mobo allows

## Available Options

This product comes in different **Size** options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is all of the weight held by those 4 screws? Any for the back of the case?**
A: That is completely up to you. With a minimum purchase, yes the 4 screws would hold the entire weight of the contents. The screws should be able to support the weight, but they may be difficult to position in order to tighten them. I bought a set of rails for the bottom case of my rack. Another option would to be to install the case in your rack empty, and then add the contents. That postpones any problems until you need to service anything inside. If you do buy the rails, the bottom machine can support the next machine until you get those screws tightened.

**Q: Did anyone try eatx?**
A: Yes it will accommodate an EATX board.  I have a dual CPU Opteron board (H8DAE-2) in my home media server using this case - no issues.

**Q: Can you remove the 3.5" HD cages and replace them with Hot Swap Cages? Measuring the cages in the pictures it appears hot swap cages would fit.**
A: Yes, I was able to reuse my (non-Rosewill branded) hot swap cages from my server tower and put into this case. In order to mount them securely, you can reuse the thin metal rails that are used to secure the pre-installed hard drive cages/fans and put them on the side of the hot swap cages. It will then slide right into the case and click into the case. It was a tight fit but they are very secure without requiring any screws for mounting.

**Q: Can i remove the HDD trays and front fans and mount 12 5.25 bays?  I have 3 iStarUSA Hot-Swap HDD Cages and want to mount them in this case.**
A: See the RSV-L4412 which already does this pre-configured.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the most roomy and elegant server style cases I have come across in a while. Its really sturdy and beautiful to look at.
*by L***N on October 5, 2016*

Finding the right case for my project has been a real challenge. I have been looking through google and amazon for quite a few months and haven't settled on the right combination yet. I haven't actually tried this case yet....as in actual operation! Although, i want to make some comments. Firstly... i have not been paid or compensated to make these comments, not to say i wouldn't like to be. They are my actual opinions and views. When looking thru chassis & cases i wanted to make my chassis as compact as possible, since i am putting this in a 72 inch white cabinet... "TRIPP LITE 42U Rack Enclosure Server Cabinet (all white) Doors and Sides are screen/vented, 3000-lb Cap SR42UW" in case you want to see what i am talking about... I want this to be a two tone system, and looks is important. So when looking thru cases, most of the cases looked chincy, plastic like, in the pictures. So it was hard to make my choice. So i basically took a gamble when i ordered this case. I am using a large e-ATX motherboard... A Gigabyte MW70-3S0 (Intel C612) Dual CPU Workstation Motherboard. This is a really big motherboard, with two CPUs. And, I have large convection radiator's with fan on top of each CPU... a total of almost 7 inches from the bottom of the motherboard to top of the fan. So this also was a major consideration when choosing a case. Come to find out, the CPU fan just clears the top of the chassis. I have really liked the looks of the Rosewill Chassis for some time (from looking at the amazon pictures) but couldn't find one that would fit the e-ATX motherboard with enough height to fit the CPU cooler. Then, I ran across this case which said it would fit this size of motherboard. Another consideration, there was room for good air flow capability. So i decided to order this, even though I thought it would be chincy. Even though I thought the case would be too small, and flimsy... I ordered this on a gamble as i said. My experience so far. This is what is good about this chassis/case: 1) The chassis was at my door step in three days from the time I ordered it till I brought it into my house. I was very surprised upon seeing this big box. Well my interest was surly peeked. The case is double boxed (box inside a box). This is very good, in that it prevents the case from getting bent, or damaged. Very thoughtful of the company. 2) When I opened the box, wow, the chassis is so big, and beautiful from the outside. Not chincy looking at all, rather very classy and elegant. The pictures really don't do this chassis justice at all. From looking at the pictures, it doesn't really relate the actual size of this chassis. The actual chassis measures 17"wide x 7" height x 26"deep with the side-wings brings it out to 19" wide. The entire chassis is sturdy galvanized metal throughout. It would be nice if it were all aluminum as far as weight is concerned. But that would bring the cost of the case up to more than double i suppose. There is one plastic part... it is a panel that holds in a foam filter in the folding cover. 3) For what you are getting...an all steel case... this is one of the best-values in server cases I have seen (at $90 at the time of this purchase). The chassis is all galvanized so it won't be rusting any time soon. It has an additional bar across the center-inside-top of the case to add rigidity I suspect, and possibly hold down the graphics cards for moving the chassis around... and gives a handle to use when moving the case around during the build. Unfortunately, the bar has to be removed before installing any full-size graphics cards. 4) Lots of extra room inside the case. This makes for good air flow. 5) I am putting SSD hard drives by Intel, which installs directly into a port on the motherboard, same as would a graphics card. I am installing this "Intel P3600 SERIES SSD 1.3-Inch Solid State Drive SSDPEDME400G401". This is because this computer will be used for CAD. I am a machinist, and inventor and I really like to designand build things. So speed is really important to me. I am putting two of these SSD drives next to each other, and will use a "Raid 1" to Mirror the Operating System drives for reliability, and for speed. These drives have Read/Write Speeds upwards of 2500 to 3000 Mb/sec transfer speeds compared to 400/500 Read/Write speeds for standard SSD drives. This is a really big difference. And so I hope this will help this computer build operate much faster... in that I am starting out with Duel 6 core CPUs, with 3.50 mhz speed. I am considering starting out with a 6 core CPU as a matter of cost, to save money getting this computer built, and have a significant upgrade-path later as I save money for the real deal. This motherboard will hold 2 x 22 core processors. But right now at a cost of about $7000 each. So later, I am hoping the cost of the CPUs to come down. Anyway, I am figuring this chassis/case will be my last chassis purchase for my CAD computer, as it is so roomy and durable. Problems I ran into with this build: 1) This bar across the top middle of the case wouldn't fit with my big 1500 watt Digital Corsair power supply. So I had to remove it. Anyway, the case is so strong, it won't make a big problem to just leave it off. 2) This is not really a problem in this case... all the screws for removal of the top lid are countersunk, there all flush with the case. You can hardly see them. For me... I would prefer if the screws were large-enough to remove by hand, without tools. So it would be good if the company would include some extra screws that can easily be turned with your thumb and for finger. Just a suggestion. 3) All of the fans have standard 4 pin power cables to connect the fans to the motherboard. I wanted to put a power-speed controller by Nzxt into 2 of the open-hard-drive-slots. And, this device requires 3 wire connections on all 5 fans. So this is not really a problem with the case, rather a condition requiring replacement of all the fans " if " I wanted to install this fan controller. Just something to consider if you are going to install something like this to control the speed of all your fans. 4) There is a filter in the front lid which has holes in the inside plastic cover which fixes the foam filter. If you desire faster air-flow, you might consider installing larger-capacity fans which are really fast, which develop a lot of pressure to over-come this filter restriction. I myself will be using the air filter. Wherein, having a fan speed controller would be advisable to balance noise, air pressure, and air flow, ultimatly for temperature control. So, all in all, this is a really nice case if you want a roomy build. It's very sturdy, and quite elegant. Need I say more. I will probably get another one in the near future I think this will make a good combination for building another CAD computer to sell. And, I will be using this build as a show-piece. I will post-some high-quality pictures of my build, after I check out the air-flow. I am not putting any water-cooled elements in this build, in that this motherboard/Intel CPU combination cannot be clocked as I understand. So, I don't think it will be necessary. I don't think this case is roomy enough for a grand-water cooled system anyway. It's not a show-off chassis as its a server-style case, and has no viewing-windows. Regards.
