Hi all- I am looking to get a new 4U server case for a NAS I am planning to build. I want the case to last a long time and go through many internal component changes without issues. I do not really need the hot-swap bays, but they are nice. I need something that is sort of affordable. The Sliger case is really pushing my budget for this once you factor in rails and Noctua fans. The three cases I am between are the Sliger CX4712, Rosewill RSV-L4412U, or RSV-L4500U. Does anyone have any input on this? I am open to buying used, but there are not very many used options on eBay at the moment that make sense for what you are paying.

So as the title says, I'm trying to find parts for a custom water loop. But I have some fairly specific requirements as it's a rackmount case and it isn't possible to simply use an AIO. So I want to cool my CPU (Ryzen 9 3900X) and GPU (Zotac RTX 2080ti Gaming) on the same loop. I don't have any issues with GPU cooling, but running a Noctua NH-D9L on a 3900X doesn't lead to the most happy temps under load. The radiators I plan to use: 1x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper Dual Radiator (see here) 3x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 120mm Radiator (see here) I chose these radiators as I need to have 3 sperate 120mm radiators (thanks to a central fan panel in the case with about a 2cm gap between each fan, so triple rad is a no go) and a dual 80mm radiator at the rear of the case, and I figured that high quality pure copper radiators would be a good idea, and I'm not looking to save money on this, I want to do it properly and I want a really high quality loop that will last a long time. However, There are a lot of things I don't know too much about. So I need some help finding a CPU block, GPU block, tubes, pump, and fittings. I am sort of hoping to get everything from Alphacool as I understand that they make really high quality parts and it would just be simpler to be able to get everything from one place. I'll add some photos below showing the layout of the case and why I need this weird combination of radiators, along with what I think would be the ideal flow path for this weird loop. Thanks for reading, and thanks for any help you can provide Forgot to label it, but in the photo, left is the front of the case. so Air flow moves left to right, and the blue squares are the fans, yes I plan to run Push/Pull on every radiator because noise is no issue for me, I just want the best thermals possible

Hello, I'm having trouble identifying whether or not this DAS is a 2U or a 4U server configuration. I did my research I couldn't find a lot about this product, I was wondering if anyone knows the model of the server. EMC KTN-STL3 VNX 15 x 3.5" Disk Array Amazon Link : https://a.co/d/0UGLHPN

Hello! Im planning a new build of a CAD-Workstation and Gaming-Rig. But even before I decide on the Graphics (will probably get a workstation card and a gaming card), RAM etc, I like to choose a case. I'm searching for a rack-mounted case, which means I'm searching for a 4U Server case. I like to have as much airflow as possible, something like 2-3 120mm fans on the front and a few 80mm on the back. It should fit an ATX-board and 2 GPUs, as well as a decent power supply and an SSD (no HDD required). I'm also thinking about using a AIO-Watercooler with Rad, but I'm not sure to this date if it's worth it. Do you have any suggestions for a 19" case? I think 4U is standard (to fit the GPUs), the second thing is the depth, I like it as short as possible, max. 500mm if possible. I found this one (ROSEWILL RSV-R4000): https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Server-Chassis-Rackmount-Metal/dp/B0055EV30W?tag=linus21-20 But here, there are only two 120mm fans on the front and it's slightly longer (depth). If I go with the one with three fans on the front, the case depth increases even more. Another one is this one (NORCO RPC 431): http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-431/ But here I don't know if it isn't too short for all the stuff I like to put in. This one seems interesting too (ADVANTECH IPC 631): http://www.advantech.com/products/1-2jkd4b/ipc-631/mod_4088ba6f-9779-4901-9620-16ffa2143ce1 But there are only small ventilation cut-outs, so I think this won't work... right? I previously owned the ARK 4U-500-CA (https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811182566&cm_re=ark_case_4u-_-11-182-566-_-Product), which was nice, but I like to have more ventilation upgradability, when I plan this new build Thanks in advance!

Ok so i saw linus do the personal pc update when he worked with proto case so im thinking if can make changes to the 3d model of the case that is downloaded from proto cases website. I'm thinking cable management holes really thats all I wanted to add and maybe a lip for some RGB lights (yes I know its in a closet but its the [closet king] thats its name) for specs im thinking Motherboard: ASUS STRIX Z270F Cpu:i7 7700k Ram:HyperX Fury 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz( and could anyone tell me if there is any ram that syncs with aura) Gpu:2x ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in sli Psu:CORSAIR RMx Series RM1000X(along with custom cable mod cables) Case fan:6x Corsair HD Series, HD120 RGB LED with 2 controllers Cooling: ekwb custom cooling stuff (I'm not about to put all the fittings and crap down but its hard tubing with clear tubing and fluid. Storage: 4x SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 1TB in raid 0 ( because there is no redundancy ive got a NAS in my house that holds 50 TB so i have it backed up all the time) Tell me what you guys think if there is anything that you think i should add or change tell me because i have alot of money being put into this.

Hi, I was on amazon and was looking at some server cases. I want to buy one of them and make a gaming rig out of it. Which one would you recommend? Note: I am using a GTX 1060 6GB GPU. The only thing, I want to know is if. It will fit my GPU and some network cards. Link- https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Chassis-Rackmount-Computer-RSV-2600/dp/B00EW0K8LU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1501561969&sr=8-2&keywords=2u+server+case Link- https://www.amazon.com/iStarUSA-Server-Chassis-Cases-D-214-MATX/dp/B00A7NBO6E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1501561969&sr=8-4&keywords=2u+server+case Also leave some suggestions, if you can find a better case.

I am new to rack servers I am thinking o buying this from here and for SATA drives, I will need this? from here? do I just get 2, connect them to the backplane and the sata to the mobo? so for PSU in the website (link above), it says so I guess it supports atx, 2u and 4u psus? it will be an r9 3900x or r7 3700x system that will be online 24/7 i have never bought server psus and i have no idea what to buy I buy my stuff from www.amazon.de

Anyone know of rails that will fit the Rosewill RSV-R4000 that are sliding rails? I'm looking to go rack mount instead of having it lay on my floor in my guest room and all the rails I see online are meant for specific server case's. It's a 4U case at I think standard width but my rack will have adjustable depth so if I get a super long case in the future it will still fit. Thanks ahead of time.

Greetings everyone! TLDR: I'm looking for the best possible 120-140mm AIO for a 3900X. And I know, 240mm or a beeffy air-cooling would be better, but it's a no-go in my case. Max rad dimensions: 170mm x 160mm x 100mm(thickness) And here is a resume of the 2 pages worth of back story: I made at first a post in the air-cooler section of the forum, looking for an air cooler that would fit in my case, with an absolute limit of 145mm height that I managed to reach with the help of a dremel, because 4U cases aren't that roomy sometimes. Also, I tried to avoid top-down coolers at all cost because in my configuration, it would hurt a lot the airflow, and the 3900X has a beefy 5700XT as companion of misfortune, so indeed there is some heat output that need to not stagnate in here. My rear exhaust is 2x80mm, situated more toward the panel than the motherboard, we discussed extensively how it would suck even for an high end top-down to be in that case. I was advised the pure rock slim from bequiet, of which the results were... meh, really stock-coolery, with a nice bit of middle finger because the AM4 mount for it wouldn't allow 90° rotation, and as such wasn't even doing front to back, but sipping hot air from the GPU, or suffocating the PSU while blowing onto the GPU. And the fan on it... quiet, yes, but blows? too, but not in the way that helps cooling, I would do better with my ex-smoker lungs. We landed though on THE cooler that would pretty much answer all my need. >less than 145mm high: check, it's 130mm. >powerfull cooler: check, it's 200W TDP. >front-to-back airflow: check, it is, with dual fans, can even support 3. Meet the great: Alpenfohn Atlas. Problem: I can't effing land one!! So far, I ordered it at 2 different places, both took several days to come back to me and be like "none left in stock in fact sorry, here is your refund". Found it in Morocco, they don't ship to EU. Found it in Portugal and Romania, sent mails to inquire about shipping and costs, still no answer so far. Second hand market? NOTHING, not in my country, not in the 4 countries around I checked so far. And still, I received the AM4 bracket for it... which I'm considering framing and putting on the wall at this point. I even ended up trying to get one for 110€ (without shipping cost), where its average retail price was around 60. Can't say I didn't tried. So, alas, in case I have no luck with my trans-continental mails and end up really not being able to find a suitable air cooler, I'm thus looking for an AIO, because if I can't land an Alpenfohn Atlas, so far, I haven't found any other really compelling air-cooling option, and no, a top-down wouldn't do. Air vents: > single front intake, dust filtered, populated with a NF-P12 > double extract 80mm NF-R8 s at the back. > to come, a dual 5.25 bay with a 80mm fan. As for the only place I can put the rad in, it's the 120m front intake. But here is the thing: I don't mind dremelling (did for GPU width and cpu cooler height clearance), or drilling my own 140mm mounting holes. I have a space for the rad+fan that is as follow: -160mm height, limited by the outside case panels. -160mm width, limited by outside shell, and front panel PCB connector. Past 10mm of "thickness" (aka, like with a fan in front of the rad), that width space goes as far as 170-175mm. -the full assembly can't be thicker than 100mm, else it would collide with the GPU's butt (saying that in case of push-pull configurations) So what I'm really looking for is the beefiest single slot AIO I can cram in that space, the one true chosen one that would give me the most headroom/ best sustained load performances on the 3900X, dissipating heat like a champ with decent CFM, instead of just radiating it into my poor GPU.

Hi All, This project / re-build has been in the works since Xmas. My initial Build had to be disassembed due to RMA'ing one of my rads. Whilst that was happening, I got to thinking; how can I hide most of the cables? My answer was to create a Sub-Floor in the case. (i'll post parts list at the end) Being a 4U server chassis and my lack of metal working skills; I wasnt quite sure on how to do this..... So out i get some Cardboard and mock up a template... Then it was off to Bunnings (they seriously should of sponsored this build, there were so many trips there!!!) I decided on using a 1.6mm hot rolled steel sheet. Below is a pic of all the parts being sprayed - the garage was turned into a spray booth due to weather in AUS All parts were sprayed with the following paints; Primer - Dy Mark Etch Primer Coat: Dulux Epoxy Enamel (Satin Black) Top Coat: Epoxy Clear Coat I managed to spray it all using a $40 spray gun; winning!! My initial template called for my SSD's to be mounted in front of the MB (See photos) However i soon realised this wouldnt leave enough room for the Res to be installed neatly. Therefore; i decided to create an additional "level" on the mid plate for the res. This allowed me to create holders for the 3 SSD brackets; with enough clearance so that they could be removed if need be. The two sections are secured with 40mm pieces of 3/16 steel rod coated in heat-shrink to blend into the case. All rods have a locknut on either end with the top of the rod having a dome nut for asthetic reasons. I then realised i made a mistake in my plan..... how do i gain access/troubleshoot any cable issues?? I would need to create a hinged section at the front; whereby the cable runs would go. I could then cut out correctly sized holes for the GPU and MB cables. As you can see, my work isn't perfect; but hey... fabrication/metal work is not my daily job! So it was now time to assemble everything! The build would take up the entire dinning Table Night 1: I managed to get a little bit done; g this took much longer than expected. at present the elements are attached with nuts and bolts; however I'm deciding whether to rivet the parts in. The notcua fans as we know are not pretty; i've got 4 spares (from other builds) and may attempt to spray them black. All the cables used for the build have been sleeved with MDPC-X sleeving (4-10mm) depending on the item. The rads have been mounted on the brackets I created. I found a template for a 360 rad on MNPCtech. I had to modify the template to suit the EK Rad; Adobe CC to the rescue!! Honestly these brackets took blood sweat and tears from me! Two sheets of steel later and many many hours i got them 'right' Once again there not perfect, but they work! (see pic above) I allowed an extra 30mm clearance from the base; giving me the clearance for cables and the mid plate. I cut two cable management holes in either side; for fans and custom power switches. To control the fans and RGB; I'm using the aerocool fan hub. This thing is awesome!! Controls up to 5 fans and 2 RGB strips!! Link: https://www.aerocool.com.tw/us/project7/controller-p7/p7-h1 Mounting the controller is on the cards for the next night; I want to work out the best location on the base to mount. For a drain port; I have installed a BitsPower panel adaptor on the mid-plate. At present I'm probably going to just use soft-tube with EK Compression fittings (but may attempt to use fittings from the panel adaptor to drain port) This is the only soft-tube being used. The remainder will be 16mm Bits Power hard tube with Bitspower fittings. More updates to follow! Feedback and thoughts are welcomed

Hey guys, I'm a bit new to planning out a streaming server build and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a Server Chassis. Bonus points for those that have hot-swappable bays built in and I would like to keep it under $200 (Not including shipping). Requirements include the ability to house an E-ATX Motherboard as well as at least two 3.5" HDD bays/slots. So far, the best deal I was able to find was this case which has a $50 dollar shipping charge... http://www.rackmountmart.com/rm2u/rm2044.htm
