This is the ultimate channel to tell me about rack mounted gaming PC cases.
Yea I was searching for this type of content for a while.
@Silverstone Why am I just now discovering this exists?!? (Also, great video Nick 😁)
Do I smell a build?
Silverstone is holding out on you lol. This is why you have to come to Taiwan for Computex this year! You get to see all the cases you didn't know existed.
This is actually Silverstone's second 5U chassis.
That's a fantastic case, great video man!
Really awesome case! Love it
Yeah man, keep the rack content coming!
Awesome video, something different. Hopefully to see more
Thanks for sharing.. That is a cool design with the offset fans.
YAAAAAASSSS I needed this thank you!!!
Best. PC. Ever. This is the basic form of computer building from yesterday that I yearn for
As long as I get to see rack mounted content, I'm ok with what ever you build. All my systems are rack mounted too. So far in my rack is a 4U threadripper workstation,
a 4U 20 bay media server, and a 2U R720 for my blue iris and home automation. This is all in a 25U startech so I have plenty of room for each system to have its own UPS, a 3U parts drawer, and space left over.
Fantastic video. Love a functional system. Rack mount cases are the ticket. No bling, all horsepower.
New Threadripper in the other RM52 would be awesome. Keep up the great videos.
Looks pretty cool!
Another excellent video! I've been considering a 1/2 rack for my WAH office to include all my tech and clean up my workspace(s). Spicey price but justifiable, will be ordering tonight!
Thanks Man. It would be nice to see some stats after build is completed. Temperatues and Decibels would be nice.
Yes more server video! I want to see everything!
It shall be done!
Awesome mate!
Reminds me of all those HP blade servers I used to install back in the days. Lucky we had a metal workshop as I had to modify the metal card support bracket to fit a massive custom built 24 output Matrox Video Card. 😁😁
Matrox those were the days! I've been trying to get my hands on some of those Matrox Parhelias for a retro build.
shout out MWAVE!! they where the people I chose to get my 4060ti 16gb card from and when I placed the order they fixed the shipping address issue the moment I called them about it despite always only buying at UMART and they are gonna be my go to retailer for all my PC hardware
Good eggs they are!
Perfect rack mount case for NH -D15 and big 40 series card
I got the RM41-H08 4U, which houses my TR 3960 with 128GB DDR4 3200, 1000W Thor, EVGA 3090 FTW, and all Noctua fans in my rack. Uses the same rails, and yes, they are fantastic.
Positive pressure FTW.
What a ton of fun! :D
Before seeing these pc server case builds i never knew you could do that. Now i want to put my pc into one of these i just wish it was cheaper.
The Silverstone RM600 will be on the market in the next few months. Id love to see a review of that case too
cant wait your next video
4:57 was an awkward moment for all of us
I'm intending to use this case for my next dedicated gaming rig with custom loop AND going vertical with converting my current rig into a server.
New threadripper for sure
Looks cool
super curious and really want one of those workstations. although i know i don't have any particular use for it. hahahaha glad you made time to make a video about this. so that we would know the feel of building into one of these behemoth systems!
curious about what you use that for? like maybe when i get the budget, can i actually utilize one? i mean i'm not a programmer, heavy creatives, or animator.
Ultimate rack mount PC build for virtual/remote gaming would be cool. I’m currently planning 3 for me and the family.
"FINALLY!" there is a proper video on this case. I looked at this quite a while to built a workstation. Not even rack mounting it. But it seems to have zero BS design to me. Like airflow is just a single direction and you can fit dual 360 radiators. As I plan to have one GPU and accelerator(s) in my next workstation built and might end up with some of them water cooled.
one question: do both orientations (upside down) also work in the desktop/standing orientation?
Only to see that SilverStone now announced 6U chassis... And they almost cost the same. It's not cheap at all - but all steel so it should last 2 decades.
I've always wanted to do a rack mount build but haven't gotten around to it yet. Goals.
Mate this is exactly what I’ve been looking for…
"Oh, that's a nice case. Lemme check how much it costs."
"Ok, nevermind."
I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on a PC case when it's going in the basement.
I have really been looking at purchasing two of these cases for my own set up. Trying to consolidate and move both my gaming and work/editing/encoding system into rack mount chassis and this might be just what I need. I am curious about the custom loop support for this case, particularly for mounting a pump/res combo perpendicular to the mobo. Worst case scenario I can get DIY with the drill, but If I can utilize predrilled holes that would be ideal. Maybe those unused drive sled holes? Thanks for inspiring me further on this project. Love the insight as always.
You can probably mount it to the drive sleds themselves. I didn't use any of them at all.
@@GearSeekers That might be a good option. I will have to measure the current height of my corsair pump/res combo and determine whether that clears the Z axis height you mentioned for air coolers. It's not the tallest unit, but certainly not the shortest either. Ideally I'd like to have the pump mounted in it's normal orientation to A. avoid leaks B. make filling the loop much easier without trapped air. Thanks again for the suggestion and showing off this awesome piece of hardware.
Epic stuff bro! I just built a shiny new 7800X3D/7800XT gaming rig, and I'm about to transplant my dusty old 8700k system into a Silverstone RM41-H08 chassis. I went with that chassis because I'm actually fitting it to a network rack, not a full-depth server rack. So unfortunately I had to omit the rails, and instead, I've fabricated a box-steel bracket with some adhesive foam and bolted that across the back inside of the rack for the back of the chassis to rest on, right above my nifty 1U draw 😁👍
I upgraded from a legendary i7 8700k to the 5800X3D
@@Ladioz The 8700k has been excellent for me, and will continue as a modest server for NAS and home lab 😀
That's actually a legitimately cool idea!
The Startech rack I'm using has adjustable depth and I'm using it at almost the shortest depth at around 64cm. I also didn't want a full depth rack and the RM52 is a short depth case as well. I have an older Silverstone RM316 which is full depth that I'm glad I didn't decide to put in this rack. It's in another one elsewhere.
I'd love a Startech but they are pricey. The network rack I got is an APC 13RU for $200 off marketplace, it has a backdoor that can mount to a wall and the whole chassis can swing to the side. Great saving there, now I just need to save up for the 5-drives I intend to chuck into it 😁👍
She's a beauty!
nice claw
Super duper dope 4U server rack case. I honestly prefer 3U but 4U will no doubt accept way more easily any large GPU 🔥🚀
Price is indeed quite high though sadly.
Its 5U! lol yea big case.
Yeah its 5U. This thing is an absolute CHONK!
That room you're in could reasonably be the inside of a Streacom DB4 chassis
How did you know?!!! I'm inside the case. I'm very small.
show us it all!!
Aye carumba I was sold on this till I saw it was like 500 smackers! I could buy like 4 really really nice cases for that :S
I use the Sliger Designs CX4150a 4U chassis for my HTPC in my A/V rack. Also holds a 360mm radiator, looks great and is a bit cheaper in price than the Silverstone offerings.
Sliger does some pretty dodgy things business wise. We refuse to cover their products.
@@GearSeekers Didn't know that. Thanks for the info
Love the video! I just found this case and I am using them to build production grade PCs. Any idea if these could support upright GPU mounts? With an icebox IT closet, the temp differential between standard mount vs upright isn’t a factor for us.
I think it should be okay :)
Could you stress test the GPU in a higher slot and compare it to where you have it installed right now?
Would be interesting to see how much air intake is being compromised by having it so close to the chassis wall
I've been considering something like this, in the hopes that the Dell R240 I picked up from work (that is only 1RU and has 40mm fans) could be transplanted into a larger case that fits larger fans... 🤔
In a case lkke this normally you would install blower style GPUs, which make the 2x80mm fan module mode like a hazard, than a bonus.
I've been looking for a rack mount case for my next PC for a while. Nothing has felt like it would fit the bill until I came across this video. Would you know if any other cases that can compete with Silverstone's offerings? They seem to be somewhat unique right now.
Definitely enjoyed this video. Do they make a generic NAS type option where it's little more than external hard drives for the server? I've had to change out my NAS twice now because they no longer support it and always run into problems since I'm trying to run Plex through the NAS. After this video I'm really close to wanting to make a server, but would need some way to come up with a NAS alternative. Would love to see you go through the whole build process including deploying software for this once you get that far!
They do. They have this 4U version which is interesting.

If you're interested I did a really weird build last year with an old Silverstone 3U storage server case that I converted into a disk shelf and the used the RM44 as the host.
ua-cam.com/video/kUDIfakYV7U/v-deo.html
Looks like a great case for an AI Server build too 😊
I am an IT Director myself. Been in IT 24 years
threadripper 7990X watercooled monster. YES PLEASE
I would like to see newer hardware. Like new thread ripper or X99 with a Flex 170 GPU or something like that. Cheers!
"But wait, there's more!" Silverstone Tech has always made superior quality PC chassis and they create new unique concepts instead of just copy-cat other manufacturers like most companies do and the specifications they list are correct, just be prepared to pay commercial prices for commercial products not consumer priced. They used to design CPU air coolers to specifically fit into their PC cases also.
They still do :)
I have the same rack, with the same case. I also have an RM51 in it as well.
How do the two compare? Which one do you prefer? I don't know if I would go with the 2x180 of the RM51 or with the flexibility of the RM52.
Man that is a lot of money for a case that looks so simple. 500 euros. In fact the case kinda looks old. It really makes me wish someone would bring cheap gaming focused rack cases
Not necessarily a server thing, but I'd like to see a new HTPC style case that can fit a high-end PC (the usual contents: EATX mobo, RTX 4090, 360mm AIO, multiple drives, lotsa front I/O ports, etc.) I use an O11D Evo XL now but back then I really preferred HTPCs for my personal rig. Nearly all HTPC cases now are missing features here and there which keeps me from moving my desktop build into one, which is a shame.
Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid question. Can you put the chassis in the rack empty, then build in it after its racked?
Build the ultimate cloud gaming PC in the new case! Water cooled CPU and maybe even GPU (can use AIOs for ease of use) and then ANYTIME you want to game you can just stream the high end rig to a TV, handheld, chromebook, steam link, or anything else EITHER using moonlight or maybe Parsec. You could ALSO do that build in your OLD case if you want to put a Threadripper in the other RM52. The advantage to the rack mounted gaming PC? It can act as a steam cache for your benchmarks and games for new builds to speed up downloads or transfers, it will centralize your save files for games so that they are always their no matter what service you ae using the save will be there. And you can stream that rig to almost ANY device and have full access... even over the internet away from home. Parsec will give FULL access to the host machines desktop WITH low latency either on a local network OR remote.
Could probably also just add a GPU to the threadripper or Xeon and spin up a virtual machine for gaming... but it won't be the same as a bare metal rig. Not to mention anti-cheat for some games doesn't like VMs
What are you doing in terms of IO? Will your desk be fairly close to the rack?
Epic case and something I've been interested in a while. I'd love to build something like this and tuck it away into the basement with all the other network and cabling in the house. But, any idea on how I would go about connecting to something like that? Or was your use case in this build having it tucked inside of a server case but still in the same room as the user.
For my use case the 12U Rack sits next to my desk. It ends up saving space in my office rather than having to PCs on the floor. It also allows me to put my 10GbE switches that I use in the rack as well as the M.2 10GbE/TB4 NAS I use for editing as well. You can put it in the basement and run fiber up to where you want to use the machine with a Thunderbolt dock. That would do all your USB, Display etc. If you're interested I could do a video about it. I'd have to get my hands on some gear but might be an interesting video :)
@@GearSeekers , I'm absolutely interested but don't know if it makes a lot of sense. I haven't built a PC in years so the idea of sticking it down in the basement ensured that my home office was silent and free of fan / pump noises. But, what am I sacrificing in some ways by having to run fibre to a specific room. It's clearly a very specific use case that I haven't seen a lot of solutions for. Linus did something on this years ago where he ran like a 50ft TB2 cable between the server case and his office.
Should also check out linus latest house build where he set up all the computers in the house like it. Might be some new tech you haven't seen yet.
Just ordered it!
But wondering if psu with depth of 160mm will fit without removing hdd case or not?
I see on Silverstone website product page, it shows build with 150mm and it tightly fits (with cables kinda normaly bend)
Did i undertand correctly, 190mm is full depth to hdd case? so psu depth+cables bending should fit into this length?
Looks like RM51 is more optimised for air cooling and custom water cooling. Using 2 fractal design 180mm fans in front of the case with alphacool 180x2 radiator.
I think the RM52 is better for both ;)
Just for craziness sakes, is there enough room for the phanteks t30 fans in push/pull for the 2 360mm rads?
What case would you recommend for Home Media Center Storage Server? Looking for 3.5 X 24 Bay SATA support. ATX and can handle liquid cooling
I vote for a new TR7000 pro system with U.2 NVMe please :-)
Does this case accept hard 3.5 hard drive cage or other accessories like dvd drive? Is there a way to install it. I'm looking for a rack mountable workstation for home but not many videos on this case.
please make video also with rm52 with threadripper!
Build with the current threadripper hardware you have. Promote re-using hardware that you already have and getting the most out of it compared to buying new and new. As long as it suits your needs though.
I ended up transplanting my Threadripper Pro editing system into the other RM52 to fill out the rack. I think I might try upgrade to TR7000. I have a few TRX50 boards I just need a CPU :)
Silverstone, make this case with your 180s please and thank you
EDIT - I shoulda looked. Ok my next system is going in an RM51 with the 180s.
🤣
Hi Nick, Great Video. I have been wanting to build a system like yours. How can I communicate with you offline. Thanks, Ric
Water cooling build :)
Isn't this regular KingSlide/Intel SDP rail kit? Like AXXRAIL2? One thing it's missing is cable management arm, that would make it so much easier to work with.
I think it's based on the KingSlide Rail
But wait. There's more!
Thunderbolt integration with Threadripper please
That server chassis is amazing. I should’ve waited to buy this one instead. SMH
Seems excessive for rackmount, where you only need one direction for airflow so making the thing wider (while helpful for large air coolers) doesn't make it much better for servers and this thing takes a third of your rack? Maybe if you need a really quiet server, personally I'd like to see this with an option to turn it on its side and have a TG panel as an option (maybe included at this price). I guess I really really like it and I could also never explain the purchase.
Its supposed to be a rack mount case. It's dead silent. The idea is I wanted 2 of them to fill up the rack. The 12U rack is just about the height of my desk. I have a custom desktop that sits on top of the rack and works as an extra bit of desk space with all my stuff underneath :)
I've completely rebuilt my office from the ground up and I'll explain everything in an upcoming video :) I'm super keen to show everyone what I did!
I made Dante's words mine: What a hell is that?
How would we power 4 blower style GPUs? There is not space for two PSUs
Yes there is. You can run a dual redundant server PSU or a regular PSU and an SFX PSU
"Thanks for the video! I really appreciate the design of server cases. As someone with a mobile DJ side hustle, I prefer rack-mounted setups. I'm currently searching for a case for my next flight simulator project. The RM52 has everything I need, but it's a bit too pricey and large for my liking. Can anyone recommend other server or rack-mountable cases that can fit an ATX motherboard, a 280 or 360 AIO cooler, and a large 4080 GPU? Thanks, everyone! - Gear Seekers
Do you regret not using a high end AIO, such as Silverstone’s XE360-4677?
Not at all. I did ask Silverstone for one but they are out of stock at the moment. I may swap it out if it becomes available
@@GearSeekersI’m curious about that cooler/case/cpu combo…
still trying to find something like that, but 4u
They do have the RM44 which we covered last year.
ua-cam.com/video/LfO4Re_E-_4/v-deo.html
But does Bindi approve?
put an overclocked threadripper inside
Hello, can you please explain how your windows 11 booted like that? it's like your taskbar icons bounced or loaded one at a time at a fast pace. Is this like a wallpaper engine thing or what?
Thats just how Windows 11's desktop comes up.
@@GearSeekers No it does not. That was an animation of some sort. Go on 20:51 the taskbar flashed and went from left to right in a split second. Mine comes up as it is without any flashing or movement..
@@Ladioz It absolutely does. It does it on all my Windows 11 machines.
do both but keep the newer hardware in the case.
how long until rack mount are the new mainstream PC building meta.
make a video transferring the old stuff, then make one when you get new stuff
"I always play myself" Nahhh hold up
It's cool but too expensive for me :(
Have myself 4U rackmounted case for my gaming pc. This silverstone model looks cool and seems perfect only issue with it is that it is damn expensive. almost 600 euros at europe. You can get proper 4U case for less than 100€. These gaming rack cases are cool but way too expensive. You are better to buy budget 4U case and save the money. Even the case would be long term
What case do you use?
@@djvincon basically unbranded model of RSV-L4500U Rosewill 4U case.
Technically the same case with different cheaper branding with minor differences. Bought it before covid when prices were normal. Got it like 80 something euros.
Only issue is that you cannot fit full height cpu cooler like NH-D15 to it. Its bit too short. Thou NH-D12L fits its nicely and gives about similar cooling performance compared to NH-U12A example.
Rack up your threadripper!
Make a good mobile Audio PC to sit under my Rack mountable Digital mixing desk….
The case is great and I love it, but at 500€, it's just too expensive for me and it's definitly not worth the money. I can't see what justifies the price compared to a good 150€ PC case from CoolerMaster or any other Brand in that price range. It seems designed for companies that don't mind overpaying. While I'd love to have it for my own PC at home, a simple $100 case and a rack shelf will suffice for me.
This is the type of case you would probably keep for 10-15 years.
I wish all graphics cards had their connectors on the end, on the side is hideous/tedious.
Some setups require different cable routing, I like having options. The cabling looks quite nice if you route it over the top of the GPU in my opinion.
agreed. top just looks ugly especially when you are doing cable management
not gonne lie comming froma TJ10 ESA case my self... build quality of all manufactures are pretty poor these days god pls say this case it not stamped metal?
Oof, it's AUD$799 hard pass.
why cant they paint it black inside, its so stupid
Its an empty shell at AU$800.00. Which idiot at Silverstone priced this...
It's a very niche product and its better built than any PC case you've ever used by a long shot.
@@GearSeekers You got one thing right, it's so niche it's not going to leave the warehouse floor
very expensive comparing how simple inside this case is. Nice it is 5U - but there is not so much place when you consider 1600 psu , big cpu radiator and at least one graphics card . by the way , gpu should be mounted horizontally. Normaly there are 30+ cm long ( not like the one on the video) and have 3+ pcie slots width . it is nosense to put gpu into motheerboard slot - you need extender and mount in paraller to mobo . Great chassis but space is somehow wasted id should cost Half the price it is now
