I'm planning to do a build in a 4U rack case, relatively low power; i5-8400, onboard graphics, ssd, possibly a few hotswap ssd's.  A capture card may be added later on for live streaming.  So heat won't really be a big issue.

 

are there any specific concerns to keep in mind with doing a build in a 4U case? 

 

I know cpu cooler clearance is something to lookout for, does anyone know the max cooler clearance?  I can't find that listed anywhere.  I wanna stay air cooler for simplicity and a stock i5 doesn't need a lot of cooling, but I do want an upgrade over the stock cooler cause noise.

 

 

this is the case I'm planning on using as of right now
