I am deeply grateful that you do rackmount case reviews along with everything else that you do; it's not easy finding decent reviews for server cases, so thank you for being utilitarian. 🤣❤
The reason why there's 8 individual cables is because they cut costs on it by not putting an actual backplane in it. Those are just individual SATA and power combo cables. I wouldn't even think about trying to hot plug since those aren't part of an actual backplane.
Unykach WS SR630 or ALmordor WS SR630 comes up with nothing from Tobago or other stores.. most I've been able to come up with is sellers in Spain.. but they don't ship to NA. Lemme know if you find a store or seller👌👌
Very interesting, looks like it would’ve been perfect for the 180tb home server room build I just did. Instead I used an on-sale fractal focus case, two stacked 5-bay drive cages, and a custom 3d-printed mounting bracket to secure the cages to my case. It cost me like $80 all together! Obviously my build doesn’t accommodate the same gpu length, but that plus a $50 metal rack got me all the practical functionality I need since my house isn’t a commercial office. I put a hot-swap drive bay in the front and found I never swap drives anyways. What was really useful is that I designed a custom-sized 3d-printed drive slot that fits in one of 5.25” front bays for my Atomos drive caddies with a dual data/power sata cable directly connected to the mobo. My server pc basically now has a giant SD card slot for me to quick-insert my video SSDs for storing footage. Obviously it’s not too much faster than just using a dual sata to usb cable but it’s satisfying as hell to use and nobody makes such a product afaik!
The power supply doesn't need 15 amps in Aus. We have 240v as compared to America and several other countries that have 120v. Watts is Volts x Amps so Aus standard 10amp outlet = 10 x 240 =2400 watts. America needs the 15amp plug because- 15 x 120 = 1800watts, just over the power rating for that PSU. That's why, it's not a trick. Therefore, a standard AUS (10amp) outlet can support well above what that power supply needs.
AS far as I can see, a proper backplane/expander board like you'd get in a server would either necessitate a PCIe add-on card, motherboard with SFF connectors (server motherboards primarily), or a SFF to SAS/SATA breakout cable.
i would like to see the top be split into to a smaller section that just covers the drives so if you need to add or remove drives you did not have to remove the entire top panel
It would be pretty great to have these indeed available. I am looking for a good case for my new upcoming system albeit, the system will be more a consumer type of system because of price being limited, to 4K€
The case looks pretty decent. But there are so many red flags: - A company with "Mordor" in it's name - based in china (so probably supplied with forced labor) - website has a broken certificate - website on almost any tracking blocklist
Crazy to me that server cases don't have 5 1/4 bays. For branded rack servers I understand. This needed a bay for a Bluray HD Ripper. Silverstone is still the OG, Lian Li too!
Its a nice case - most people who need a case like this for AI work dont need the million hard drive slots it would be great to have aversion with that whole hard drive front storage chopped off = smaller case but still triple fan/coolser support and just as powerful
They do have 15A outlets for domestic use as well as sockets for 20A/25A/32A. The latter are generally non-domestic use except in kitchens for high power electrical appliances like cookers/ ovens. The nice thing is that these are all downward compatible so a 10A plug will fit all of them; very nifty. Since they use the AC230-240V mains, the current draw for equipment will be about half of that in the Americas.
The design language of the case front looks like a mash-up between HPE's Gen 8 servers and HP's Z*20 series workstations. Also, you can probably unscrew and remove the expansion card support brace rather than try to squeeze the water cooling pipes through. This should also allow for thicker fans/ rad setup. The way the drive connectivity is handled is rather disappointing though.
Unykach is also selling this case. And regarding the AIO install... have you ever seen the video from Gamers Nexus -> Stop Doing It Wrong: How to Kill Your CPU Cooler (AIO Mounting Orientation) ?
Pretty sure the highest point is the tube, or the in/outlet at the radiator. If it's rack mounted, the radiator is still going to be the highest point.
The build itself looks really nice, but Gigabyte needs to stop pushing Norton Internet Security as an """update""" that you can't permanently opt out of with their Control Center software. It's garbage behavior and I can't believe more RUclipsrs don't call them out on it. Most power users disable the auto download function in BIOS, but that doesn't excuse putting a crapware antivirus trial on top of already subpar software.
Gigabyte is garbage. It doesn't work. The software fails; it never installs or launches and crashes when it does. Bugs tf out for no reason 10/10 don't recommend any of their products. Because it wasn't one product, it was multiple that failed me

Thats what I'm here for! To help you guys out!

@@jeremywiginton2502 It should still be hot swappable since SATA data and power cables support hot swapping. Still not a fan of this though
How do you purchase this?
As far as I have gotten in my research.... you don't. There is no reseller at all, who have this case.
Unykach WS SR630 or ALmordor WS SR630 comes up with nothing from Tobago or other stores.. most I've been able to come up with is sellers in Spain.. but they don't ship to NA. Lemme know if you find a store or seller👌👌
LOVE LOVE LOVE the industrial/enterprise pinned fan carriers. God that's so nice. It would be awesome with the Koolance quick-disconnects.
Loved the paste application. I use cling wrap, and finger paint it on, same since the 486.
More space than my apartment
$900aud per week.

nice job on this, this case would be perfect for my 2025 build.. maybe Almordor will fix their SSL cert by then :)
Looks like a great case, but... those SATA cables would drive me mad. No Mini-SAS, no deal! 😄
Where can u get this in the US
I bought the 500 after seeing your first video… it’s awesome… I plan to drill out the HDD mounts and 3D print a jig so I can fit a 360 radiator
I have a question. Where do you end up getting it from?
Mainframe in house, i like it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow awesome. I am considering rack mounted server next !
The power supply doesn't need 15 amps in Aus. We have 240v as compared to America and several other countries that have 120v. Watts is Volts x Amps so Aus standard 10amp outlet = 10 x 240 =2400 watts. America needs the 15amp plug because- 15 x 120 = 1800watts, just over the power rating for that PSU. That's why, it's not a trick.
Therefore, a standard AUS (10amp) outlet can support well above what that power supply needs.
I wish rackmount cases that were half-width 3u were common since it'd be more space efficient than 2 2U.
I wish we could purchase this
AS far as I can see, a proper backplane/expander board like you'd get in a server would either necessitate a PCIe add-on card, motherboard with SFF connectors (server motherboards primarily), or a SFF to SAS/SATA breakout cable.
The 4u cases always look like they'll be so tight for GPU cables, especially with the new more sensitive smaller connectors.
What, if any, rack rails does this support?
Hey mate i'm in Tasmaina Australia what state do you live in?
i would like to see the top be split into to a smaller section that just covers the drives so if you need to add or remove drives you did not have to remove the entire top panel
I want to buy the case but can’t find anywhere to buy it….
What is the day to day use case for this type of build ?
A proper case, nice.
I would love to use this to rackmount my workstation
Where can I buy One?
Doesn't look like it's available in the US, sadly. Seems like a great all-arounder for a rack case.
how does it look like when closed up? unless that is tempered glass?
9:30 “ah shit, that was the power”
Atta boy Nick 🤙 you keep putting out server content and I'll dub you " Aussie Wendell " 😏👌
I love it. Of course I love it.
It would be pretty great to have these indeed available.
I am looking for a good case for my new upcoming system albeit, the system will be more a consumer type of system because of price being limited, to 4K€
Will 4090 FE fit in this case?
Link ? How much ?
The case looks pretty decent.

yea sadly a lot of enterprise hardware are usually gated from normal users
sooo questions, as i Pref Air Cooled builds, could the fans be swapped out with a complete set of BeQuiet or Noctua fans ?
They're just regular fan mounts, any fan should fit. Looks like it comes with 120mm fans.
It's such a shame the 19" height/width restriction doesn't allow for cases like this to have 420mm radiators.
Looks good. Would wanna get one if can accommodate u.2 drives
Wtf were you doing with the thermal paste man
Exactly what you're supposed to do when you have a CPU the size of an ITX motherboard lol
I was gonna say a 20A plug. That is crazy your standard outlets are 10A. Do yo even have 20A plugs? Or is it all in the 200V range?
We are in the 220-240V range here in Aus
They do have 15A outlets for domestic use as well as sockets for 20A/25A/32A. The latter are generally non-domestic use except in kitchens for high power electrical appliances like cookers/ ovens. The nice thing is that these are all downward compatible so a 10A plug will fit all of them; very nifty.
Since they use the AC230-240V mains, the current draw for equipment will be about half of that in the Americas.
@@BigBenAdv Ya I guess that makes sense, thanks for the answer!
i wouldn't really call this a backplane it's more just connection at the right places (not even a pcb) (and even directly sata and not sff)
The design language of the case front looks like a mash-up between HPE's Gen 8 servers and HP's Z*20 series workstations.
Also, you can probably unscrew and remove the expansion card support brace rather than try to squeeze the water cooling pipes through. This should also allow for thicker fans/ rad setup.
The way the drive connectivity is handled is rather disappointing though.
would that fit a 19" rack.
Yes. Every rack is 19" wide
Only if the drives were front facing hot swappable
I need this....
I would buy that.. myself
me want. me can not afford.
Fine this is for the big companies, even the small companies don't need this server like computer
i need one also
A case we can't buy Even their site has no SSL.
Unykach is also selling this case. And regarding the AIO install... have you ever seen the video from Gamers Nexus -> Stop Doing It Wrong: How to Kill Your CPU Cooler (AIO Mounting Orientation) ?
Pretty sure the highest point is the tube, or the in/outlet at the radiator. If it's rack mounted, the radiator is still going to be the highest point.
Confusing video, cause that company sells PCs, not cases.

Very ugly case
