RackChoice 2U Server Chassis Short Depth 14.17" Front I/O with 2 x 3.5“ (int.) mATX M/B,Support ATX PSU with Either top or Side Cooling

I love the front IO design and everything about this case. The only issue is as others have mentioned. Mini-ITX boards will fit perfectly fine, but Micro-ATX boards will have trouble fitting because of the case's PCI slots (I have two cases, one with each motherboard type inside). I didn't make any case adjustments, and kept my Micro-ATX board inside because I quite like the case, but I was only able to secure the motherboard with two screws instead of all six, due to the misalignment.

Purchased with the intention to build a nice OPNsense appliance. The rear IO is in the front making this perfect for a homelab. Some rack cases are built pretty cheaply. This is not one of them. The metal is thick and doesn't flex. It feels substantial in the hands, which is nice to see these days. I did not test the stock 80mm fans, but I typically don't expect much of them. The stock fans have daisy-chainable 4-pin Molex connectors. This is a negative pressure design so be prepared to dust it. I had intended to put in PWM Noctuas from the getgo and they go in nicely. There is enough space to route the cables under the fan frames if you finagle it right. Hard drive cage is dampened and removable. I have only one tiny nitpick: the PCI slots for not have retention slots in the bottom to hold down the bracket plates. Consequently the placeholders bend inward when poked. This is pretty trivial in my mind, certainly not enough to drop a star. All in all a nice, well-made rattle-free 2U case that should last many years.

Ive been looking for a chassis like this for years. Design choices are good and the quality is ok. Unfortunately, Matx boards cannot be installed without modification. It missing a mm of clearance from the Pci holders. Also the front panel is a black sticker, not a fan of that. On the bright side, the HDD bracket is on rubber pads. 3 stars, returned it as I didnt want to modify it.

This case is excellent. I built a system with a AsRock Rack X470D4U MATX motherboard. The problems mentioned by other reviewers are mitigated in the version of the case that I got. The troublesome pcie bracket tabs mentioned by others are not present in the case and therefore the board is able to fit with no issues. The case is spacious and the IO plate fits snug but not too tight. The panel with the power, reset buttons, usb ports and leds is cut out from the metal and not a sticker like I saw on another review. I bought this case with very low expectations and ir very well exceeded them.

As mentioned in other reviews.. motherboard doesn’t fit properly.. I decided to make it fit. I cut off those slot retention brackets at the bottom and filed it smooth.. I then bent the brackets to go outside which should work for most pci cards. Check out the pictures. I only have one slot bent, but plan on doing the rest. You can probably get away with not bending them. Other than that it seems to be a very solid case and I love being able to access everything from the front. I did replace the fans with Noctua’s
