Eggxpert Review
Pros: 8 case fans, 3x 120mm front, 3x 120mm middle and 2x 80mm back all metal/steel 15 HDD bays Rubber feet in case the case would sit outside a rack E-ATX/ATX (mini and below) support Front filter (actual dampens the front fan noise when front door is up)
Cons: No 5.25" drive bay - would have liked an internal optical drive Can't see front I/O panel lights when front door is up
Overall Review: I saw this on sale for $109 and couldn't pass up on such a low cost, well built, all metal/steel 4U rackmount server chassis! Being that it is all metal/steel it is very heavy but expected. I knew the case didn't have space for a 5.25" device when I bought it but it would have been nice; would have to sacrifice some HDD slots but it is nothing major as I went and bought a Blu-Ray/DVD/CD external burner/player. The other 4U rackmount server chassis I have cost me ~$320 that is also all metal/steel construction as well. In looking at the two chassis side-by-side it is hard to understand truly how my other chassis cost so much when construction looks relatively the same quality. Needless to say, this is a great quality rackmount for the price!
