    Rack choice is seriously so interesting, and a great value. Most other 2us are 200+, and dont offer nearly the features. I wanted to put a bunch of GPUs to clusterize, (like 3 lp cards and one 2 slot " real" gpu) seems like the perfect case. Rackchoice also has very reasonable hot swap bays and backplanes to go with it.
    Lol imma just cut the hdd bays

      Considering this one for a NAS, but I may also move my gaming rig into one as well. That 2080S is 267 mm, my 3060ti is 275mm... Not sure my 5900X will be able to breathe in it though. What hardware do yours have?

      @@anonymousinc6330 I am using a Ryzen 2200g with a low profile noctua cooler, and two 40mm fans up front. I think your 5900x might need an ID cooling low profile cooler and you have a chance.

    Just bought on of these. The horizontal tension piece is a nightmare. Headed to the hardware store for some 932 dremel bits, or maybe just drill holes in it.

    Can molex fans that comes with the case replaced by Noctua PWM fans?

    • @CreatorHardware
      @CreatorHardware  8 місяців тому +3

      The included fan hub is powered by molex, the fans are 3 wire standard fans, so yes you can either replace them with Noctua 3 wire fans or use a different fan hub/splitters and use 4 wire pwm Noctua

    Could you not just mount the hard drives upside down so that the ports are more easily accessible?

    Um, the regular atx PSU cannot be installed upside down in this case. You can use a pico or *sfx PSU with the side slot and an *extra fan.

    • @CreatorHardware
      @CreatorHardware  9 місяців тому +2

      Support ATX PSU with Either top or Side Cooling literally in the main description on amazon, and yes you can mount an atx power supply upside down, hence why they include the second power cord with the case

    Informative presentation! Was curious if the chassis will fit in a 24" server rack?

    Appreciate the honest review. I'm considering one of these for a NAS / web / Plex / recording rig. Might actually move my gaming rig into one. Tuf B550-Plus / 3600X / 32GB DDR4-3200 / GTX1650 / Corsair CX650F planned for the NAS. I would use my 1700 but the B450 it's on doesn't have the slots I need, and the B550 doesn't support the 1700. I'm curious, do you have any cooler recommendations for a 3600X in this case? It's well known they heat up with stock coolers.

    Does the manual say anything about ordering a 2nd horizontal adapter for the IO? I was thinking it looks like 2 could be installed to use 2 large GPUs and ribbon cables instead of riser boards.

      lots of airflow, the stock fan hub runs them at full speed, even adding 2 5.25 devices the other side is open and will still have plenty of airflow
