    Thank you for this! Only video I could find that actually showed a graphics card mounting into a 2U case

    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

      they are for sure, and quality is on par with the bigger brands like silverstone and rosewill

    Been looking for a good component sized case to build my next NAS in and this looks like a good solution. You mentioned the fan noise: do the case fans constantly run at full tilt boogie, or can they be varied via a thermal sensor inside the case (perhaps depending on the power supply used)?

    • @CreatorHardware

      the included fan hub has no PWM fan controls, so the will go full speed, but you can either install your own fan hub or wire the fans to the mother board.

    Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
    Can molex fans that comes with the case replaced by Noctua PWM fans?

    • @CreatorHardware
      @CreatorHardware  11 месяцев назад +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

    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.

    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.

      or Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4
      amzn.to/3UYaBhZ
      both coolers are running in my rack now.
      I do have a video coming up testing low profile coolers as well

    Would it be possible to have a dual slot gpu on the first two horizontal slots and a single slot gpu on the bottom one?

  • @Silwany
    @Silwany Год назад

    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  Год назад +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

    I have a couple of questions on this one. When mounting a dual slot. Gpu does it need extra support from. The bottom. Tray or is it stable just connecting to the back of the chassis? Also I was wondering about the noise is it just because they use cheap high Tom fans? I was thinking to buy this to build new proxmox server and buy some noctua fans or something that cool we'll with less rpms

    • @CreatorHardware
      @CreatorHardware  Месяц назад +1

      You shouldn't need addition support with a 2 slot card. Yes cheap and loud fans are what is included, adding noctua fans is a good idea

      I've seen alot of the fan designs on the 1/2/3/4u server chassis with fans in the front only or the front + middle. Is this design with fans only in the middle of the case good enough to keep the components cool?

      @@ckirkyg I should be ok, if temp are higher than you like you may need to run the fans a little faster.

      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.

    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
