Rosewill 2U Server Chassis Rackmount Case, 4X 3.5 Bays, 2X 2.5 Devices, Micro-ATX Compatible, 2X 80mm PMW Fans, 2X USB 3.0 - RSV-Z2800U

The product is really good and complete. BUT: they do not provide an invoice which makes absolutely no sesne since the only ones buying this are companies, not individuals.

I replaced all of the internal fans with Noctua 80mm, and tbh...the sound difference isn't that minimal. I ended up reusing the stock fans in different parts of the case. I did two desktop conversions with these cases, and each worked out although the clearance between the onboard sata ports and the fan housing was so short, I had to remove that housing the get insert the sata cables (and I had to use differing directional angular connections (one up, one down) to fit one of the boards in. I managed to fit 8 drives (6 hdd, 2 sdd) in the drive bay area, but the gap between the drive bays and the motherboard enclosure is a bit small...fortunately, I installed a sas card with thin sata cabling (otherwise, they wouldn't have fit). Clearance between the drives and the fan enclosure is also a few mm too small...cabling coming out of the drives bends sharply against the fan grills (they're ultra thin too), and I ended up breaking one of them (finding out after reassembly...sigh). Being gentle helps there. The one real gripe though, is that the psu compartment is too small for all of the psus I have. I got it to fit, but had to take out the mounting bracket as the psu length is an inch or so too long, so it's just wedged in there. The rails come out of the psu and run right into one of the 4 (optional) 80 mm fans, so I could only power the drives and fans off of the two rails that were far enough to the right to avoid that fan. You will definitely need fan grills on all internal fans. The 80mm space in the rear doesn't have mounting wholes...do I used HVAC tape. It might sound janky, but its stable. Zip ties area your friend as well at keeping cabling in order. I also ended up getting a Noctua low profile cooler to replace the typical monster sized desktop ones. I had to bend it a bit to get it to clear the ram, and still fit inside the 2U enclosure. Had to remove the ram heat sync's as well, but that Noctua was so large it covered the ram as well, so...I suppose that's a little bit of a positive side effect. Note to self: never throw away low profile card brackets...the generic ones I ended up using don't really fit the cards. In total, it was worth the conversion, although with a 10G and SAS card installed. Drives are the same temperatures as they were in the desktop case (29c-35c) even under continuous load. It took a lot of hours though to get things in and fitting...taking things apart when they dont fit and re-routing cables. The second time around though had a much more clean looking result. I don't use rails...my rack has three shelves in place as-is, so they're just stacked (bolted, with spaces on the back side for the same clearance I would have gotten with rails) I think I will go for a 3U or 4U next time just for better clearances for cabling, and more GPU options (which I didn't have for these conversions).

This is a nice, simple, rack mounted server chassis. I was able to get my Micro-ATX Motherboard into it without issue. Removing and reinstalling the drive trays is mostly simple. Some screws have slotted access so you will need a magnetic screwdriver to get these out if you add drives. Buttons work well as do the indicator lights. Fits an ATX Power supply. Room for 4 internal drives and an exterior DVD drive or removable drive. I will be adding an enclosure that supports a slim DVD drive and 2 removable 2.5 drives. Can also fit a low profile riser card for additional SATA ports or M.2 slots. A slim Noctua CPU fan fits but breathing room for the fan is limited. My biggest issue is it didn't fit into my 17.7" deep networking rack as hoped. There is space in front of the mounting rails that push this case to close to the back of the enclosure. It would be perfect if the depth was 12-13".

Its a basic case. Would normally give it 2 or 3 stars. The fans are not good; you will want to replace these. The build quality outside of the faceplate is a bit rough. I find the box of the chassis to be a little flimsy, as well as the hdd bays. The included rack mounting hardware appeared to be cross threaded (out of the box, new?), so I used others I already had. My package was missing all of the standoffs and mounting hardware for the motherboard and drives... which seems to be a common problem according to reviews here and elsewhere online... wish I caught that before ordering. Their 800 number told me to email them, we will see how that goes.

It is a little cramped I will admit, but it beautifully gets the job done. Noise level isn’t too bad, fans are working nice, I’m also not using this for high load. It is definitely a bit expensive for the case but it works so I don’t mind. Motherboard stand offs were funny lookin but also get the job done. Overall decent case.
