Bought this case to transfer an UnRaid build from an old, unattractive Rosewill ATX tower. I knew I was spending decent money, including the separate purchase of an SFX PSU, but I expected more. The build is done, save for the Mini SAS to SATA breakout cables (not included) which I've yet to order. This is stated as not included, but is easy to overlook, as I did. For the price, this should've been included. Purchasing separately adds $50 to the build. The build was laborious. EVERYTHING needs to be disassembled, including the panels, drive cages and I/O before the motherboard and PSU can be installed. Not a big deal, except that everything is secured by tiny M3 screws. A LOT OF THEM. You also need to install motherboard standoffs. Aforementioned parts slide into ... MoreBought this case to transfer an UnRaid build from an old, unattractive Rosewill ATX tower.

For the price, this should've been included. Purchasing separately adds $50 to the build. The build was laborious. EVERYTHING needs to be disassembled, including the panels, drive cages and I/O before the motherboard and PSU can be installed. Not a big deal, except that everything is secured by tiny M3 screws. A LOT OF THEM. You also need to install motherboard standoffs. Aforementioned parts slide into place easy enough once that is done, which is when the fun started. I'm 6'5". My hands are proportional to my height. This is a compact case with unfinished edges everywhere. Adding cards, installing drive cages and routing cables, while not complex, required some patience (and smaller hands). My wife was asleep. Consequently I cut my hands often. After nearly two hours disassembling the old case and transferring to the new, stopping repeatedly to find a bandaid was decidedly obnoxious. All told, I scraped my knuckles multiple times and cut my finger decently once. Once the last screw is turned, all the drive sleds are populated and cables routed, you have a compact, solidly built case. But that satisfaction is quickly diminished, when you realize as I did the breakout cables are not in the parts box. I am not docking this case an egg for my inability to read the listing more carefully. I should've have planned better. But I am docking an egg b/c for the price, it is my opinion this should be supplied. Other thoughts: Despite the build process and additional parts needed, I like the case. It's a niche category without a lot competition, so options are limited; Silverstone has several cases designed for NAS applications. But I'm taking eggs for price to value and the tedious build process. Hope I never have to rebuild this system. Also concerned about cooling performance. I have a stock Intel fan that barely clears the drive cage. Aside from the pre-installed fans, there's little else that can be done for effective cooling. Time will tell.

Too expensive for the difficulty of working on it. Too expensive to not come with cables or a power supply. If you plan to build it and never work on it again, it might be for you. System is now noisy and too hot. I'm debating taking everything out and sending it back, the fans that came with the case are not working correctly and I'm worried about system temps. Also one of the drive tray activity lights does not work (all 8 drives are being accessed, but only 7 activity lights light up).
